2. What Are HVAC Chillers? • Chillers perform the task of chilling fluids such as water through a variety of methods and hence play an important role in industrial HVAC applications. • The device is constructed with a compressor, condenser, an evaporator and a thermal expansion valve. • To make the chiller energy efficient there are a few steps that needs to be considered.
3. Step 1: Maintain a Daily Operating Log Chiller operators should document chiller performance daily with a detailed and accurate log. This practice will help the operator to assemble a history of operating conditions which can be analyzed to provide advance warning of potential problems.
4. Step 2: Keep Tube Clean Chiller efficiency deteriorates as tubes become fouled, when mud, algae or other contaminate accumulate on the tube surface. Chiller performance and efficiency relate directly to its ability to transfer heat, which begin with clean and condenser tubes.
5. Step 3: Analyze Oil and Refrigerant Annual analysis of oil and refrigerant can aid in detecting chiller contamination problem before they become serious. Oil analysis help detect other chiller problem while refrigerant testing determines contaminants that might lead to efficiency problems.
6. Step 4: Sustain Proper Water Treatment Most chillers use water for heat transfer so the water must be properly treated to prevent scale, corrosion and biological growth. A one­time chemical treatment is required for closed­water systems. Even with a good water treatment program, it will still be necessary to perform a cleaning of the chiller's condenser tubes.
7. Along with these steps, proper installation and maintenance should be performed by a professional HVAC technician to improve chiller efficiency. For more details visit www.airdexinc.com
