A Guide to Different Types of Commercial and Industrial Fluid Chillers

Fluid chillers in Australia are used in a variety of different industries, including the food and beverage industry, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and chemical manufacturing sectors. Running on electrical power, this industrial equipment provides critical cooling and temperature control, and utilizing the right type of fluid chiller will optimize productivity, improve efficiency and lower operating costs. 

Fluid Chiller Condenser

Types of Industrial Fluid Chillers in Australia By Condenser Type 
  • Air-cooled chillers: Air-cooled fluid chillers use the air in the environment around them assisted by fans to remove heat from the refrigerant in the condenser. It then runs the refrigerant back through the system to provide cooling. As a result, the air around these chillers is usually very warm and they are not recommended in applications where this will be an issue. These systems are often portable, available in both large and small-scale commercial versions, are relatively affordable and the heat can be used to warm a separate space if needed. They are slightly noisy due to the fans and tend to have a slightly shorter lifespan than some other types of fluid chillers in Australia, including water-cooled versions. 
  • Water-cooled chillers: Water-cooled chillers are more commonly used in commercial and industrial applications, using an external water tower to cool a gas refrigerant in the condenser. The cooled refrigerant turns into liquid form and is then recirculated to provide cooling. They are highly-efficient (providing significant electrical power savings), quiet while in operation, available for large and small commercial-scale applications, and portable versions are available. However, they are more costly to install and maintain because the system consists of a lot more additional industrial equipment, and they require water which is not always advisable in areas with water shortages. 
Which Chiller Type is Best for Your Application? 

Air-cooled chillers need access to a constant supply of fresh air, so they can only be installed outdoors, which water-cooled chillers can be installed in indoor spaces. If the ambient temperature in your outdoor environment is very high, a water-cooled chiller will be more effective than an air-cooled one, as they can be installed in hot, mechanical spaces with little ventilation. They are also more compact than air-cooled units of a similar capacity, so they can be more appropriate for commercial or industrial sites with limited space.

Know the Difference Between kW and kVA When You Hire a Generator

When you want to hire a generator , you’re going to find yourself knee-deep in industry jargon that can make the process a bit confusing. The last thing you want is to hire the wrong diesel generators for your needs, so it’s important to know certain terms in order to make the process easier. Here’s some insight from the CAT rental team. When you ask about diesel generators, the first thing a salesperson will enquire about is the size you require for your commercial or industrial project. Generator size is measured in kilovolt-amperes (kVA), but it’s a term that isn’t well-known outside the industry. Usually, when people hire a generator, they know how much power they need in terms of kilowatts (kW) but not kVA. What is the Difference Between kW and kVA? kW are a unit of real power and a kW rating of diesel generators is how much power they can output based on the horsepower of the engine. Essentially, it is how much power the generator actually has. kVA is a measure of ...
