![Something you should know about chiller refrigerant 1]()
Chiller refrigerant is an indispensable part in the refrigeration system of closed loop chiller. It's like water which can switch to different status. The phase change of the chiller refrigerant leads to heat absorption and heat release so that the refrigeration process of the closed loop chiller can be ongoing forever. Therefore, to let the refrigeration system in the air cooled chiller system function normally, the selection of the refrigerant should be careful.
So what is the ideal chiller refrigerant? In addition to refrigeration efficiency, the following factors should be taken into account.
1.The chiller refrigerant should be friendly to the environment
In the running of the closed loop chiller, refrigerant leakage sometimes is likely to occur due to equipment aging, environmental changes and other external forces. Therefore, chiller refrigerant should be friendly to the environment and harmless to human body.
2.The chiller refrigerant should have good chemical property.
That means the chiller refrigerant is supposed to have good flowability, thermostability, chemical stability, safety, heat-transfer and able to mix with water or oil.
3.The chiller refrigerant should have small adiabatic index
That is because the smaller the adiabatic index, the lower the compressor exhaust temperature will be. This is not only helpful in improving the volume efficiency of the compressor but also helpful to the lubrication of the compressor.
In addition to the above-mentioned elements, cost, storage, availability should also be considered, for these will affect the economical efficiency of the air cooled chiller system.
For S&A Teyu refrigeration based air cooled chiller systems, there are charged with R-410a, R-134a and R-407c. These are all carefully chosen and well match the design of each of the closed loop chiller model. Find out more detailed information about S&A Teyu chillers, click https://www.teyuchiller.com/
