Steps to Prolong A Chiller’s Duration

If you own an air or water cooled chiller, always make sure you keep it maintained regularly, otherwise its performance can gradually degrade. This can result in temperature variations that can affect productivity and quality. Chillers are supposed to provide heat removal and cool down the temperature of temperature-sensitive equipment. Air cooled water chillers are not only for industrial use.  Some people have them at home for their aquariums.

Most chillers don't require much attention to keep it working effectively, although like any other machinery or appliance, it needs regular check-up and cleaning. Contacting the dealer can help you with regular chiller maintenance.

There are three basic steps to ensuring that your chiller gives you optimum performance. The first one is to inspect and clean the air filter. Air cooled chillers rely on a steady flow of air over the condenser coils and a filter is used to cleanse the incoming air and prevent dust. A dirty filter restricts the flow of the chiller, which is needed for it to perform properly.

The second step is to check heat transfer fluid levels. Cooling fluid levels can be determined with simple visual inspections. The fluid is the lifeblood of the cooling system and without it, heat removal cannot occur. Checking the heat transfer fluid's properties is the final thing to do. Dirt and other particles can make its way into the industrial chiller, causing damage to the pump and clog other parts, which is why this step is just as important as the first. Not cleaning the parts thoroughly can impair chiller operation. Simply follow these three steps to ensure optimum performance from your chiller.
