The scroll chiller can be the refrigeration solution you need for removing heat from a specific space or area. It relies on a scroll compressor, evaporator, condenser, and refrigerant and comes in two variants: air-cooled and water-cooled.
One of the crucial features of scroll chillers is the scroll compressor, a positive displacement compressor with two spiral-shaped scrolls. One of the scrolls orbits while the other is fixed, but they are critical to compressing the refrigerant to move it around the system.
Many industries rely on scroll chillers for efficiency, as these cooling solutions offer a high coefficient of performance (COP). That means they deliver higher cooling output per unit of energy input, unlike other compressors, leading to energy savings, especially in industrial and commercial applications with high cooling demands.
Scroll chillers, reinvented
A newer scroll chiller uses state-of-the-art hermetic scroll compressors from respected brands like Copeland and Danfoss. As a result, the chiller is more compact and easier to install and set up. Standard models come in options from 1 KW to 203.8 KW, whether air-cooled or water-cooled, with a set temperature range from -15 to 25 degrees Celsius.
Manufacturers carefully designed air-cooled and water-cooled scroll chillers to increase energy efficiency and reduce operational noise. They can also work with you to configure a scroll chiller for your operations. For instance, they can provide an expansion tank to stabilize water circuit pressure or use a medical- or food-grade stainless steel water circuit.
Worry-free usage and monitoring
Modern scroll chillers have a Smart Microprocessor Controller for precise temperature control and comprehensive monitoring. The chillers reduce the guesswork with a text display and RS-485 or MODBUS communication protocol support.
Operators can immediately address running failure when they hear an audible alarm. The large-flow circulation pump and buffer tank simplify installation and usage, and the water tank sight glass lets operators check water quality and levels at a glance.
Durable, long-lasting parts
The reinvented scroll chiller continues to transform the industry by reducing the need for repairs, extensive maintenance, and replacements. Manufacturers use reliable critical components from Schneider Electric, such as the breaker, thermal relay, and AC contactor. Moreover, they apply epoxy resin coating to the aluminum fin condenser to minimize the susceptibility to ambient corrosion.
