Chiller Maintenance and Testing Refrigerant Charge Health Check
Routine maintenance of industrial chillers is required to maintain high uptime and extend the useful life of the asset. A nice bonus is that well-maintained chillers have a reduced power consumption. Usually, a chiller consists of a compressor, an evaporator, and condensers. Each chiller requires different setting that corresponds to the load for maximum efficiency. Every chiller has safety controls that are designed to protect the cooling system from harm. The York® Air-cooled Scroll Chiller uses advanced technology to reduce energy costs. Centrifugal Compressors – As the favorite in the industry, a centrifugal compressor has few moving parts making them also very efficient. Centrifugal units are ideally suited for high volume, low pressure requirements such as fans or AC units. Screw Compressors – Two screws that are housed in a stationary unit fit together. As the unit rotates, gas is compressed by the volume reduction between the rotors. Purchasing a new chiller can mean thous...
