Discover the Energy Efficiency of a Scroll Chiller System

Scroll chillers are chiller systems that use two spiral plates to compress the refrigerant. One of the plates is fixed in place, while the other rotates. Its capacity is controlled by momentarily separating the two scrolls using electronic modulation, and a solenoid valve.

Scroll chillers are known for operational and energy-efficiency. They are also easy to install and flexible when it comes to different load applications. There are two types of scroll chillers: air-cooled and water-cooled.

Air-cooled scroll chillers are extremely energy-efficient. They can handle tropical environments and are user-friendly. The compressors are highly reliable and can be configured in different ways. Also, each compressor is supported by a separate refrigeration circuit, which makes maintenance a breeze. This type of scroll chiller is also environment-friendly and leaves less carbon footprint.

That said, water-cooled scroll chillers are also considered good for the environment, and are easy to maintain. Water-cooled chillers can also be customized to suit a wide range of configurations—sound, energy, and mechanical. One major advantage of a water-cooled scroll chiller is that it is much quieter, making it ideal for sound-sensitive environments.

Scroll chillers, in general, also tend to be compact. They are suitable for smaller spaces that have little room. But they are also flexible and can be retrofitted for both indoor and outdoor use. They are suitable for commercial and industrial facilities, such as large office buildings.

Apart from this, scroll chillers also have a wide range of applications: heat recovery, thermal storage, low-temperature processing, and even ice-making. Experts recommend having multiple same-capacity or different-capacity chillers for your building so that in the event where one chiller breaks down, you still have a back-up to operate.

The best scroll chiller systems can last decades, but this depends on the quality of your chiller. Make sure to order yours from a leading manufacturer of cooling equipment.
