Is it better to increase or decrease the flow rate of the water pump for a 20 ton chiller?
Is it better to increase or decrease the flow rate of the water pump for a 20 ton chiller?
Excessive or insufficient flow rate of the water pump in an industrial chiller can have a certain impact on its operation.
The flow rate of the water pump is too small:
The direct impact of a low water pump flow rate is the inability to quickly remove heat from the cooled equipment, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the cooled equipment. Moreover, due to the insufficient flow rate of cooling water, the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet increases, resulting in a significant difference in surface temperature of the controlled equipment.
Excessive water pump flow:
Many users blindly pursue the flow rate of the water pump, believing that a large flow rate of the water pump will improve the cooling effect of the chiller. The large cooling capacity can meet the refrigeration requirements, but in fact, matching an excessively large cooling water circulating pump will inevitably increase the equipment cost of the industrial chiller unit, and the operating cost, such as electricity bills, will also increase. Excessive cooling water flow rate and pressure will also cause an increase in water flow resistance, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption, Reducing the service life of the cooling water circulation pump may also cause many other malfunctions.
In summary, we can see that it is not good for the water pump flow rate of industrial chillers to be too large or too small, but rather suitable.
