Simple operation makes air blast chillers the perfect hire solution for industrial cooling applications
The operation of an air blast chiller involves a refrigeration cycle that extracts heat from the desired area and releases it into the surrounding air. The chiller consists of several key components, including a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. The compressor plays a vital role in the chiller’s operation. It compresses the refrigerant, raising its pressure and temperature. The high-pressure refrigerant then flows into the condenser, where it releases heat to the ambient air. The condenser is equipped with fins and tubes to maximise heat transfer efficiency. After the refrigerant has been condensed and its temperature reduced, it flows through the expansion valve. The expansion valve regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, causing a pressure drop. As the refrigerant passes through the evaporator, it absorbs heat from the area being cooled, thereby cooling it down.
