How to Clean Chiller Cooling Heat Exchanger?

All buildings need air conditioning, but in places such as hospitals, industries and large buildings acentral cooling system Chiller cooling is used.

In central cooling systems it is necessary to use a larger chiller to reduce the cost.

Chillers act ascoolers , producing chilled water. Buildings also generate excess heat due to production, sun rays and the number of people.

Water-cooled chillers use cooling towers, blowing air through condensers, like an air conditioning unit, to dissipate unwanted heat into the atmosphere.

How does the chiller work?

Chillers use refrigerant gas to move unwanted heat between the evaporator and the condenser.

Chilled water is produced in the evaporator and sent around the building by a separate pump to collect this unwanted heat and bring it back to the evaporator to be cooled.

It collects the heat and moves it to the condenser. The condenser puts this unwanted heat into another loop where it is sent by a pump to cooling towers to send it to the atmosphere or to a cooling coil where a fan blows the heat into the air.

Cooling Towers

The heat energy absorbed by the coolant must be returned from the system to the atmosphere. Evaporative heat rejection devices, called cooling towers, are often used to lower the water temperature in large systems.

How should chiller cleaning be done?

Considering this whole cycle, since chiller cooling systems and cooling towers work with water, they will form structures such as sediment, lime, slime, moss, algae in the system over time and cause airborne diseases as they can produce bacteria.

In order to get the efficiency of the chillers like the first day and to use them healthily, chiller maintenance should be performed periodically and attention should be paid to system cleaning. Without routine chiller maintenance, energy use can double in a few years.

By regularly maintaining chiller systems, facilities can lower energy costs, improve operational efficiency, reduce power loads and save on labor, equipment and other related costs.

Using the right tools will soften heavy deposits and remove soft deposits such as mud and algae. Kampa System Cleaning Machines are ideal and economical products for this cleaning.

Chemical descalers are also an essential part of the cleaning process. Periodic descaling is necessary to prevent future accumulation in the system. This cleaning process will reduce operating costs and extend the service life of the device.
