You may know very well that more and more people are replacing their old boiler and radiators system by air source heat pump for energy aspect.
More than that, by the development of air source heat pump, it is also now been used and applied for many industrial applications.
Taking OSB newly design air to water chiller for cooling purpose ONLY as an example, the new range of air to water chiller heat pumps , included model reference BF15-060S-/P , BF35-120S-/P , BF35-150S-/P are especially designed for space heating and cooling application with special stainless steel 316 grade plate heat exchanger , that is well known good for cooling purpose .
OSB 3 news chiller heat pump models cooling capacity varies from 7kw / 24000btu, 14kw/ 48000btu to 18kw/61000btu to different demand of different needs of space area.
And it works for wide range of climate ambient included tropical climate that is up to 55 degree Celsius.
Yet, how air source heat pump chiller can be applied to industrial application?
Cover Area Cooling: Manufacturing equipment generates a lot of heat. Such a hot environment can be dangerous for employees. A cover area cooling unit can cool the air in a factory, making it safer and more comfortable for the workers. These air-cooling systems also are used for keeping offices and other working spaces cool during warm weather. Rental package units can cool temporary areas without the cost or effort of purchasing and installing a full-sized HVAC system.
Process Cooling: Industrial processes create heat through friction, equipment or burning. To increase the longevity of the equipment and keep the process running smoothly, you need a process chiller. Unlike standard HVAC systems you have in your home or office, process chillers cool a liquid that circulates the area to be cooled, maintaining a set temperature. This liquid may be water, propylene or ethylene glycol, or even something like methanol or ethanol. Since processes are as diverse as petrochemical manufacturing and plastics production, process coolers have many different forms. The cooled liquid circulates equipment to keep it at safe operating temperatures or cool it to a lower temperature for a process.
Plastic Manufacturing: Plastic is very temperature sensitive. If it gets too hot, plastic can melt. During production, plastics need to cool in molds to an appropriate temperature. Cooling the molds requires a hard-working chiller. For extruded plastics, the formed plastic needs a cooling bath to chill in. A chiller provides the cooling for this bath. For extrusion plastics production, the ideal setup includes a second heat-exchanger to separate the water used for cooling the equipment and the extrusion water. Keeping these waters separated prevents contamination from plastics in the extrusion water.
Metal Plating and Anodizing: Metal plating can be done with electroplating or electroless plating. Both methods require high temperatures. Anodizing is a similar process to reduce corrosion on non-iron surfaces. It, too, uses high temperatures to electrically bond the finish to the metal. Because both anodizing and metal plating require temperatures ranging in the hundreds of degrees, companies specializing in these processes need a heavy-duty chiller to remove the heat produced from the solution. Some shops solve the problem of heat removal by sending the plating or anodizing liquid to a heat exchanger while others will use glycol or water-containing coils to cool the fluid in the tank.
Food Processing: The food production industry is the first application many people think of when they list uses for industrial chillers. While most people think of refrigerators, industrial process chillers are also an essential part of this industry. Glycol coolers send chilled propylene glycol through cooling coils for chilling food or beverage storage units. For instance, breweries and wineries frequently use glycol chillers for keeping their products at the perfect temperature. The beverage industry isn’t the only one to use chillers. Food manufacturers use process coolers to chill dough mixers or cool ice cream makers.
For instance, a petrochemical company may need a chiller to keep equipment from overheating, or a food manufacturer may require a cooler for food storage and production.
