Modular Chiller System Application Guide for Air Conditioning Industry
Modular chillers have emerged recently as a more cost-effective, mass-produced answer to completely customized chillers in HVAC systems. What is a modular chiller? It’s a small packaged chiller that your HVAC provider can combine with other chiller modules to make a single larger machine within your HVAC system. Let’s explore the different types of modular chiller systems and how you can benefit from installing one in your commercial HVAC system.
Modular chiller is used to cool the brine and water and to dehumidify the air in industrial processes and buildings. Modular chillers are capable of this cooling using the evaporator and also has an installed internal or remote condenser with appropriate controls. The condenser in the modular chillers can be of two types as water-cooled or air-cooled condenser. The modular chillers have gained increasing popularity due to its wide range of applications from space cooling to process purposes.
When you put two of these chiller modules together, one module controls the other. The two modules communicate to each other through a microprocessor controller. For water-cooled chillers, the chilled water travels from both modules’ chilled water supply and from the heat exchanger (after it cools) to the main module’s chilled water supply header and return header.
WHAT‘S A MODULAR CHILLER’S PURPOSE?
In general, chillers expand your HVAC system’s cooling capacity. A modular chiller uses two or more modules to expand your system’s cooling capacity further than a standard chiller would. When the modules work together, they create a larger capacity than one standard chiller would alone.
BENEFITS OF MODULAR CHILLER
Modular chillers offer a wide range of benefits to your commercial or industrial HVAC system and your facility overall. For example, they’re smaller in size than standard chillers, so they’re great for retrofitting old heating and air conditioning equipment. You can fit the modules into an existing HVAC system more easily than you can a standard chiller. Additionally, having multiple modules gives your system extra redundancy. That means you’ll face less downtime if one of the modules malfunctions because each module has its own dedicated power, so it can keep producing cooling capacity for your system.
