Chiller Application
Industrial process chillers are designed to circulate water to a heat producing process via a water pump. The water brings the heat back to the chiller where the compression cycle cools the water before it is returned to the heat process.

Pump performance
The unit will usually be supplied with a primary circulating pump as standard
THERMEX can customize the pump for particular applications and these should be specified at the time of order
The unit has an internal water bypass designed to protect the heat exchanger – it should not be closed under any circumstances

- Rated Hz – 50/60
- Rated voltage 220/ 240
- Rated amps 3.1 to 5.2 amps
- Weight 16kg
Options
| Close tolerance (CT) | The chiller can be manufactured with either a hot gas bypass valve or a VFD on the compressor for close temperature tolerance. Standard tolerance achievable is ±0.5C depending on load conditions
The valve acts as to unload the refrigeration effect to the evaporator as the chilled water temperature approached set point. If the compressor is fitted with a VFD this will slow the compressor down as water temperature approaches set point and speed it up as it approached set point plus hysteresis. The software has a PID loop to ensure maximum efficiency and maintain temperature control.
|
| BMS Connectivity | The chiller can be connected to the high or low level BMS
Low level connectivity will be dry contact for – Master run – Master fault High level connectivity is Modbus, SNMP and Bacnet over Ethernet without the need for a gate way |
| Tandem/ N+1 (T) | The chiller can be wired if they are to be installed in a N+1 arrangement so the lead chiller manages the duty cycling of the chillers and controls the chillers if a fault should develop in one of the chillers |
| Potable water supply (I) | The chiller can be manufactured to deliver water for potable water application. A typical installation requires the chiller to be connected to the main water and the pressure from the main is used to supply the process.
The chiller will have a heat exchanger installed which will cool the mains water to the supply temperature in a single pass If the process does not require water the chillers operation is unaffected This method of construction also allows the chiller to be used to cool water temperatures above 20C |
| Remote Condensers (R)
|
The chiller can be manufactured as a split system. The evaporator can be installed indoors in a plant room for example and the condenser installed outdoors.
Typically, the maximum distance between the 2 halves of the chiller is 20 meters – for longer runs contact Thermex’s engineering staff |
All operational cooling capacity, power consumption and current draw data shown above is based on the chiller operating at the limit of its design and is intended to be an indication only.
Each chiller will be individually designed to customer requirements and a detailed product specification will be supplied at time of order including installation instructions and dimensions. The power consumed by the unit and the current it will draw vary depending on how the chiller is constructed. The chillers performance may also vary slightly from the figures above again based on customer requirements.
