Regularly check the following parts to make the chiller more efficient
In your factory or laboratory, chillers are responsible for cooling and controlling the temperature of production equipment. They are like a caring "caregiver", cooling and controlling the temperature of production equipment. Then you should treat them like your family members to prolong their lifespan and promote production with high quality and quantity. Regular inspection of the following 9 parts can make the chiller more efficient and healthier.
1. Maintenance of the compressor
Take the screw compressor as an example. The screw is a precision component that determines the performance of the chiller. If you often work in bad conditions, you may have troubles, and the maintenance costs are also very expensive. A small part may cost at least thousands of dollars, not to mention the labor costs. And if you can pass regular maintenance to avoid failures, you can save money in vain. Generally, the inspection is carried out by qualified engineers, with a cycle of two years.
2, check the safety valve regularly
The condenser is a major part of the chiller. On the screw chiller, the safety valve is installed on it. In order to avoid the impact of the condenser high pressure on the unit, the safety valve can automatically relieve the pressure. Therefore, it should be checked regularly to see if it is faulty and aging, and the unqualified must be replaced.
3. Regularly clean the parts prone to fouling
For example, cooling water tower: Larger water chillers usually use cooling water towers to cool the condenser temperature. If the water tower circulates for a long time, it will also cause contamination by impurities, fouling in the condenser tube, etc., which will cause damage to the unit. Therefore, the condenser is cleaned regularly to help clean the interior. For example, the condenser, evaporator, and heat dissipation pipes, especially the connecting parts, the chiller runs for a long time, and it is easy to produce scale, which will affect the cooling efficiency and heat dissipation of the unit. Therefore, the pipes should be cleaned according to the specific operating environment. It is usually cleaned once every six months.
4. Regularly replace the lubricating oil
Chillers are also mechanical equipment, and they also use lubricating oil in operation. After working for a long time, the natural oil quality will deteriorate, and air, moisture and other impurities will also be infiltrated. Therefore, regular replacement is a great thing for the chiller. . It must be replaced at least once a year.
5. Regularly replace the filter drier
Dry filter is a component that filters moisture in the refrigeration system, so that the unit is filled with dry refrigerant to avoid moisture and damage the refrigeration system. Therefore, the filter drier is always working during the operation of the unit, and it should be inspected at least once a year, and it should be inspected once every six months in a harsh operating environment.
