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.

Popular types of industrial coolers

From foods to the minerals industry, a variety of companies use industrial coolers as the portable generator to add efficiency to material processing. When selecting industrial cooling equipment, there are two popular types your business can choose from such as a rotary cooler or a fluid bed cooler. This article will provide some basic understanding of these generator sets . Rotary cooler A rotary cooler is a robust and long-lasting industrial cooling solution. The main advantage they have to offer is their heavy-duty drum construction. The robustness of a rotary drum accepts a broad range of feedstock at a high capacity, making it the workhorse of the bulk solids processing industry for both drying and cooling procedures. Rotary coolers use a counter-current air-flow design, along with ambient or chilled air, to efficiently cool material. Additionally, flights lift and cascade material as it tumbles through the drum, enhancing the cooling process. There are a variety of a...

4 Ways That Commercial Rooftop Solar Saves You Money

Every business has unique power requirements and faces its own power challenges, but most of these challenges can be solved while decreasing costs by using a combination of commercial rooftop solar   panels and high-quality energy storage systems. Here are  four  ways going solar will save your business money, from the solar cell specialists.   1.  Earning solar feed-in credits:  The amount of credits your business can earn are dependent on the size of your solar cell system  and t he deal you negotiate with the local electricity retailer and the policy in place for your state. This system allows you to sell the excess solar energy in c/kWh that your commercial rooftop solar system collects back into the grid, earning you a profit in credits, which can also be traded to other businesses. Currently, the  value of these credits is between 7 cents and 20 cents per kWh.   2.   Independence from the grid:  Full or even...
