What mitigation measures are taken for the excessive energy consumption of air-cooled chillers?

2023-08-21

When enterprises use air-cooled chillers, if there are many inappropriate factors in the environment, other industrial chillers will also experience increasing energy consumption. Measures to alleviate excessive energy consumption of air-cooled water machines include: optimizing equipment selection, improving equipment efficiency, controlling equipment operating parameters, using frequency conversion speed regulation technology, regularly inspecting equipment, heat recovery and utilization, and standardized operation management. Through these measures, energy consumption can be reduced and equipment operating efficiency can be improved, thereby reducing energy waste and operating costs. It is important to carry out regular maintenance of equipment and train operators to ensure the effective implementation of measures.

The energy consumption of air-cooled chillers is too large and the following mitigation measures can be taken:


1. Optimizing equipment selection: When purchasing an air-cooled water machine, the appropriate specification and capacity should be selected according to actual needs. Avoid oversized or undersized equipment to adequately meet cooling needs while avoiding wasted energy.


2. Improve equipment efficiency: Regularly clean the condenser and evaporator to maintain their high-efficiency heat exchange capabilities. Make sure that the surface of the condenser and evaporator is not blocked by dust or debris to improve the operating efficiency of the equipment.


3.Control equipment operating parameters: set reasonable cooling water flow and temperature, and avoid operating parameters that are too high or too low. Energy consumption can be reduced by properly adjusting the set point.

4. Use frequency conversion speed regulation technology: Adopt frequency conversion speed regulation control system to adjust the operating speed and power of the air-cooled water machine according to actual needs, avoid long-term operation under high load conditions, and reduce energy consumption.


5. Regular inspection of equipment: Regular inspection and maintenance of air-cooled water machines, timely cleaning and replacement of filter screens and filter elements in the equipment, in order to maintain the normal operation of the equipment and high energy consumption.


6.Heat recovery and utilization: Recycle the heat generated by the air-cooled water machine, such as for heating, hot water supply, etc., to reduce energy waste.

7. Use multiple air-cooled chillers to operate: the use of chillers in the industrial field can maintain the stable operation of the chiller by increasing the number of equipment operations. Because most factories use chillers uninterrupted, and production does not stop, if you want to keep the chillers running smoothly, you must increase the number of chillers you use.


7.Standardize operation management: Arrange the operation schedule of the equipment reasonably to avoid unnecessary long-term operation of the equipment. At the same time, strengthen the training and management of operators to improve operational efficiency and energy conservation awareness.

In addition, if the equipment is faulty and the cooling performance of the chiller continues to decrease, the enterprise must be cautious when using the chiller. When operating the equipment, once the enterprise ignores the existence of various common faults, although the equipment can be used normally temporarily, the operation safety of the equipment will be directly and seriously affected. When the energy consumption of the air-cooled chiller used by the enterprise continues to increase, etc., it means that the equipment failure is very serious and must be dealt with in time, otherwise it will threaten the normal use of the air-cooled chiller by the enterprise, and even lead to a substantial increase in the cost of the long-term operation of the industrial chiller; therefore, the stronger the protection awareness of the enterprise using the chiller, the lower the probability of equipment failure, so as to achieve low energy consumption to operate the air-cooled chiller.


Through the above measures, the problem of excessive energy consumption of the air-cooled water machine can be effectively alleviated, the energy utilization efficiency of the equipment can be improved, and the operating cost can be reduced. And it is more effective to carry out equipment maintenance and train operators on a regular basis to implement the method
