General Description:
Explosion Proof Chiller is a high-quality cooling device integrated to prevent flammable gases from explosion detonated by hazardous processing equipment. Its disconnect switches detect the change in apparatus temperature and start up the refrigeration cycle to dissipate extra heat of the system.
The core components of Explosion Proof Cooling System by TopChiller mediating prevention from fire explosions are:
Scroll or screw compressor, disconnect switches, air/water-cooled condensers dissipating system heat, temperature controller, evaporator configuring heat exchange between coolant and refrigerant, and expansion valves.
Explosion Proof Chiller designed by TopChiller meets the needs of explosion protection for a diverse number of applications such as ink printing, granaries, oil refineries, coal plants, petrochemical industries, chemical plants, and gas refineries.
TopChiller is a well-reputed manufacturer of Explosion Proof Chiller dedicated to introducing the global world with advanced cooling technology and the best customer services.
With its aptitude working experience, TopChiller is well familiar with industrial processes that need cooling solutions and always stands first to some with your current needs.
Are you in wait to find the best cooling option for the safety of your explosive operation and equipment? Stay here and make sure to contact TopChiller to place an order for a sturdy Explosion Proof Chiller.
You will enjoy our customer-oriented management and the quality of our Explosion Proof Cooling Solution at reasonable rates.
Features and Advantages:
The basic design features and related benefits of Explosion Proof Chiller by TopChiller are given below:
- Protection from explosive material is assured by the compact design and sturdy body made of stainless steel material. The chiller’s continuous cooling prevents gases and vapors from getting sparks under precise temperature regulation.
- The temperature of processing machines that may cause an explosion is maintained at a set point by disconnecting switches. These switches inspect the fluctuations in temperature and prevent electric wiring from spark production.
- A diverse variety of environment-friendly refrigerants are installed that have zero ozone depletion potential. It actively circulates in the refrigeration cycle, changes its phase, and efficiently discards system heat outside the environment.
- Gases released by processing equipment are protected from ignition configured by installing prime quality PLC temperature controllers and explosion-proof electrical accessories.
- Extra heat produced at the production site is absorbed by chilled water circulation provided by shell and tube evaporator. Water coolant transfers heat to refrigerant in evaporator and gets ready for next cycle.
