A water chiller is a refrigeration system that cools fluids to remove heat from a process or a building’s space. It’s usually a component within an HVAC system for commercial and industrial applications, but it also has many uses for manufacturing processes that need exact water temperatures.
At Michigan CAT, we offer high-quality water chiller rentals to satisfy your project demands. Call us today at (248) 349-4800 for more info on chiller rentals.
What Are the Benefits of a Temporary Chiller Rental?
Achieving a precise water temperature with a chiller has several advantages, including:
- Efficient cooling: Chillers provide an efficient and effective cooling option for large spaces. Within an industrial setting, you could have a manufacturing process such as plastic injection holding or food and average production. These processes can all require industrial chiller rentals.
- Energy savings: Equipment that carries out various functions, such as standard air conditioning systems, doesn’t always have systems in place that are efficient at doing a precise job like cooling. Because water chillers are designed with one function in mind, they can offer enhanced efficiency.
- Durability: Water chillers are created with industrial and commercial use in mind, so they have a high level of durability to withstand these applications.
What Are the Main Types of Water Chillers?
The two main types of water chiller rentals are scroll compressors and screw compressors. The scroll compressor utilizes two interleaved scrolls to pump, compress and pressurize fluids. One scroll remains stationary while the other orbits around it, creating pockets of compressed air or refrigerant.
Scroll compressors offer varying numbers of scrolls, such as a two-scroll or five-scroll compressor. Each type is more complex than the previous one and offers more detailed control over cooling capacity. The five scrolls are suitable for a large commercial or industrial application. Two-scroll units are better for smaller operations.
With a screw compressor, the rotors compress the air or refrigerant. As the screws or rotors intermesh, they reduce the volume of air, and the pressure increases. The screw compressor has a greater output than the scroll compressor, which is why this option is more often considered for industrial chiller rentals.
The screw compressor can run a high-load application 24/7. The scroll type is usually quieter, making it ideal for environments where noise is a concern. When it comes to maintenance and longevity, both are high quality. Screw compressors are built a little more robustly, but they have more parts and would require more services. Of course, with temporary chiller rentals, you don’t have to worry about carrying out services or repairs.
