What are commercial chillers used for?
Commercial chillers are used to negate excess thermal energy produced by internal and external factors. In industrial application, they are often used for the controlled cooling of products, mechanisms and factory machinery in a wide range of industries such as plastic, injection and blow molding, metal working, welding, die-casting and machine tooling, chemical processing, pharmaceutical formulation food and beverage processing, paper and cement processing, vacuum systems, X-ray diffraction, power supplies and power generation stations, analytical equipment, semiconductors, compressed air and gas cooling, MIR machines and lasers.
What should you look for in a new chiller?
Regulations promoting environmental sustainability and energy efficiency are creating opportunities to improve overall HVAC products and system designs. Chiller technologies align with these market trends in that “new holistic approaches are needed that consider the life cycle of the equipment within its environment regarding costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and interfacing with constantly evolving data management systems.” (Brian Simith, Johnson Controls Inc.).
Therefore, the chiller tech that you should be thinking about are those that are great at connecting and reacting to demand-side grid service requirements which relate to the grid decentralization trend. This includes enabled demand response, load shifting, and demand limiting. Furthermore, your future chiller should be great at tracking and optimizing its real time performance and managing it or notifying operators to manage it when needed. The future of chillers is one of sustainability and saving resources.
