subject: Insight On Chiller And Chiller Repairs [print this page] Most industries today have different complex processes. Regulating correct temperatures is also a part of such industries. Thus different systems like boilers, steamers, chillers are required to regulate the temperature. Chillers are used in every industry which needs cooling aids. The advantage of chillers is that they cool liquids i.e. control and reduce the temperature of liquids by either transferring the heat to other sources of water or the ambient air. Not only are these used in industrial processes but also households. There are food and beverage chillers too. There are also chillers for buildings. They cool water that is supplied across the building through its cooling system.
Chillers have many advantages and are also versatile in its use. These can be used in plastic industries to cool the molten plastic while it is being moulded. They are used in manufacturing industries for converting waste heat for its cooling. When air from the chillers is directed towards gas turbines or compressors, the efficiency of the units increases. Ice can be created from chilled brine. Here are industries which handle semiconductor manufacturing. The chillers help in the plasma etch processes in these industries. The source which emits lasers is cooled using chillers.
Even in pharmaceutical units, these chillers help in regulating the heat in reaction vessels. High end electronic equipment like MRI and PETI machines used in hospitals have inbuilt chillers. Only if their thermal control is exposed to cooling will they function properly. These are also used to cool down the extra heat generated by cutting objects through machine tools. It can also be used to cool paper when it comes out of the oven and also to cool the printing rollers in printing industry. There are many different types of chillers depending on the performance, size and functions. Every industry has different requirements and hence will need different cooling systems.
Most of the companies which provide chillers to commercial and industrial establishments, also work towards chiller repairs and maintenance. Their experience and responsive nature saves you from the cost of replacing the entire unit. Chiller repairs are much easier and affordable than replacing it with a new unit. Chillers generally last very long only if they are maintained properly and checked regularly. The only major repairs in the chillers could be replacement of big parts like the condenser, OEM compressor, plate exchangers, replacements of valves or replacement of the OEM circulation pump.
Minor checking or servicing during chiller repairs will include checking for leaks in various components and fixing them, re-charging of refrigerants, cleaning of wetted parts, installing new cartridges or canisters, monitoring temperature controller, electrical functions and so on. All these tasks must be performed by experienced and certified technicians to eliminate any flaws. They also make sure that your chiller repair work is done within the stipulated time so that your work is not affected. A good maintenance routine will ensure that there is no requirement for constant chiller repairs and the chillers perform efficiently and economically.
