Air Cooled Scroll Chiller: The Ultimate FAQ Guide

When you evaluate all the vital aspects of air-cooled scroll chillers, you will definitely get high-performance accessories for your applications.

This guide will answer all the vital questions you have been asking about air-cooled scroll chillers.

From basic definitions, working principles, to optimizing the chilling process – you will find all information you’re looking for right here.

Keep reading to learn more.

What is an Air-Cooled Scroll Chiller?

Air-cooled scroll chillers are automatic, complete, and standalone refrigeration units.

You can configure them with two or more hermetically scroll compressors and air-cooled condensers.

The units may have multiple air-cooled condensers depending on the chiller model and application.

Besides, the condensers have integral sub-cooler compartments, highly efficient evaporators, and electronic expansion valves.

Air-cooled scroll chillers have a wide range of applications, including incorporating the chiller system in air conditioning units.

Moreover, the chillers are applicable in industrial and non-industrial set-ups (offices, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, etc.)

How does Air-Cooled Scroll Chiller Compare to Air-Cooled Screw Chiller?

Both the Air-cooled scroll and screw chillers perform similar functions with the same modes of applications.

However, the significant difference between the two sets of chillers lies in the compressor modes of working techniques and other factors outlined below.

Cooling capacity; if you need a chiller for a small cooling capacity, then a scroll compressor is worth the investment.

However, if your cooling capacity is enormous, then you should consider investing in screw compressor chillers.

Generally, scroll compressors are efficient with applications that require small cooling loads, while screw compressor chillers are compatible with great cooling demands.

Sizes of the chillers; Air-cooled scroll chillers have limited sizes even with the rapid improvement in technology.

Currently, you will only get scroll compressors up to about 50 HP.

An alternative to that limitation is installing multiple compressors in the circuit to get a larger cooling load.

Even though that’s a temporary solution, it has a share of its blame.

Installing multiple compressors on a single circuit may hamper your system’s performance.

Ultimately, if you need a large cooling capacity, you should readily consider having a screw chiller type.

Flexibility; generally, scroll compressor chillers are incredibly flexible and compatible with a wide range of condensers up to a power limit.

Elsewhere, manufacturers consider screw compressor chillers as being traditionally ideal for industrial applications compared to small-scale applications.

Run times; definitely scroll compressors can operate sporadically for small cooling loads but for a run time of fewer than 24 hours/ day.

On the other hand, screw compressor chillers have a longer continuous run time of 24 hours per day for a week.

Better still, the screw compressors are medium to heavy-duty chillers, while scroll compressors are purely small to medium-duty chillers.

What are the Parts of Air-Cooled Scroll Chillers?

Air-cooled Scroll compressors have the following primary components:

  • Hermetic scroll compressors
  • Air-cooled condensers
  • Electronic Expansion valves
  • Efficient Evaporator
  • Refrigerant circuit
  • control/ power panel

Hermetic Scroll Compressors

The chillers have unique suction gas-cooled hermetic scroll compressors, which have a scroll design in both axial and radial directions.

For better efficiency, the compressor has all rotating parts statically and dynamically balanced.

Better still, the compressor has a large internal capacity and oil reservoir, which provide higher liquid tolerance.

The compressor has solid crankcase heaters to cushion the system against liquid migration,

Air-cooled Condenser

The scroll chiller’s Condenser is Air-cooled and consists of fins and tube coils.

Besides, the Condenser has low sound-emitting fans and motors.

Evaporator

Every model of the Air-cooled scroll chiller has a distinct type of evaporator.

The evaporators comprise a network of tubes in which the refrigerant flows, whereas the chilled liquid flows via the shells.

Both the evaporator and shells have compact walls to withstand high pressure.

The material of the heat exchanger is stainless steel 304 plates.

Refrigerant Circuit

Depending on your application and the chiller model, there could be single, double, or multiple refrigerant circuits.

Most often, the circuit material is copper with brazed joints.

Control/ Power Panel

The scroll chiller’s electrical panel may comprise circuit breakers, transformer, correction capacitors, and disconnect switches.

So then you will conduct all the power controls and regulations from the electrical compartment.

Conversely, the control panel consists of ambient kits, language LCD and keyboard display, discharge/ suction pressure transducers, and readout capability.

How Does an Air-Cooled Scroll Chiller Work?

The operation of the chiller begins with the low-pressure refrigerant liquid gaining entry into the evaporator tubes.

As the chilled liquid moves in the evaporator shells, it emits heat energy, which super-heats the refrigerant liquid and evaporates.

After that, the now highly heated vapor at low pressure enters the scroll compressor.

There, the vapor’s pressure and temperature subsequently increase.

From the Condenser, the resultant vapor passes through the Condenser.

In the process, the water flowing via the Condenser in the shells takes up the accumulated heat from the vapor.

In the Condenser, there is a combined system of fans that blows ambient air into the Condenser to cool down the refrigerant.

Meanwhile, the entirely cooled condensed and sub-cooled liquid departs the Condenser into the expansion valve.

While in the Condenser, further cooling happens as the pressure decreases.

Lastly, the now low-pressure refrigerant liquid gets into the evaporator, and the process continues.

What are the Features of Air-Cooled Scroll Chillers?

High reliability and operation; the Air-cooled scroll chillers are most prevalent for their excellent reliability and high performance for both industrial and commercial sectors.

Besides, the machine maintains a very slim tolerance ensuring that it achieves a high level of efficiency.

Above all, the chiller has robust components with high precision skills to increase the machine’s durability.

Highly Efficient; the chiller comprises interior grooved tubes with a spiral design to improve good heat transfer from the refrigerant.

Some of the typical condensers have V-shaped systems to increase heat transfer’s surface area, especially whenever optimized.

Again, the chiller has an axial and radial compressor design to improve its efficiency and performance.

Low level of noise and vibration; the system has a compact structure together with a robust assembly.

The condenser fans have axial wing designs and a directly driven motor for a low noise production level.

Easy to install; the chiller units come when already pre-wired, charged, and tested at the factory, thereby saving on start-up time and installation.

Vast operational range; the Air-cooled chiller has different ambient cooling temperatures and a subsequent ambient heating temperature.

Environmentally friendly refrigerant; the chillers come readily built with an eco-friendly refrigerant that poses no threat to the environment and the ozone layer.

How does an Air-Cooled Scroll Chiller Compare to Water Cooled Scroll Chiller?

Both two chiller types serve similar functions and roles with similar technological control and configuration.

Nevertheless, they are far worlds apart; below is a summarized outline of the difference.

Operational technique; Air-cooled and water-cooled scroll chillers have Air-cooled condensers and water-cooled condensers, respectively.

Therefore, the Air-cooled type relies on ambient air for cooling, while the water-cooled type depends on the cooling tower.

Efficiency; generally, water-cooled scroll chillers are more efficient at cooling compared to the Air-cooled type.

Coefficient of performance; typical water-cooled scroll chiller has higher COPs than the air-cooled type.

Their COPs range between 4.45 to 6.2, while the air-cooled type has their values at 3.2 to 4.86.

Water cooled scroll chiller

What are the Technical Specifications of an Air-Cooled Scroll Chiller?

The typical technical specifications of the chiller include:

  • Cooling capacity
  • Integrated part-load value (IPLV)
  • Energy efficiency rating
  • Operating weight(lbs)
  • Sound pressure (dBA)
  • Machine dimension (height, width, and length), amongst others.
  • Compressor input power.

The above specifications are only limited to particular chillers; still, the list is not entirely exhaustive.

Above all, always ensure that you review your chiller’s technical documents to know your machine.

How do You Select a Suitable Air Cooled Scroll Chiller?

Use the following guideline before settling on a single unit.

1. Verify the machine’s usage state; before deciding on which model to pick, weigh the following parameters against your expectations.

Firstly, the chilled water inlet/ outlet temperature and the amount of chilled water flow.

2. Select a competitive model; calculate your cooling load capacity, select a suitable model based on specifications and performance.

Whenever choosing a competitive model, always remember to pick a unit with a similar or more significant volume than your rated capability.

3. Conduct a performance adjustment for fouling; you need to analyze the product’s manual to understand the machine’s fouling coefficient.

4. Make a Performance adjustment; first, you should add freeze and burst prevention solutions to the machine.

If you conduct cooling in winter or case, you failed to extract the device’s water while it was in a resting phase.

Nevertheless, you have to underline that the freezer’s characteristics alternate after adding the solution, so you should adjust it appropriately.

5. Final determination; analyze the model’s performance and power consumption.

If you find no fault, you may pick the product; alternatively, you may review the model right from step two in case of any issue.

What Kind of Factory Testing does Air-Cooled Scroll Chiller Undergo?

An Air cooled scroll chiller at the factory undergoes a holistic kind of factory test to determine its efficacy and efficiency.

The factory test is otherwise widely known as the unit performance test.

The primary focus of the test is to confirm the functionality of the system.

Most manufacturers have gone ahead to incorporate high-tech into the tests by establishing programmable kinds of testing.

Such tests check all the device’s components, including sensors, electronics, wiring, and microprocessor control functions.

Among the factory’s several benefits, tests include confirmation of performance, possible avert of functional faults, and a smooth start-up and operation guarantee.

The technicians have to test and run every scroll compressor to check its capacity and efficiency.

Where Can You Install Air-Cooled Scroll Chillers?

It is advisable to install your chiller unit at best outdoors to get access to fresh ambient air since it relies upon it for ventilation.

Besides, you would not need a large space; most retrofit applications would need a small operating footprint.

Above all, you need to analyze the following guidelines before settling on a definite set-up point.

  • Choose a location with enough supply of fresh air for the Condenser.
  • Keep off from sites beneath windows or in between buildings that are sensitive to noise.
  • You may choose to install the chiller on a roof or ground level.
  • If you are operating in an area prone to chemical pollution, you should use corrosive-resistant fins. They may incorporate copper fins, epoxy coated fins, or cured epoxy coated fins.

Can You Install Air-Cooled Scroll Chillers on Roof?

Absolutely yes, you can install the roof equipment, as long as that roof can sustain and support the device’s weight.

However, please note the following when doing a roof installation:

  • Select a specific point on the roof, capable of withstanding the equipment and personnel weight combined.
  • Be cautious enough not to damage the roof when installing the machine.
  • Include spring-type isolators to reduce the transmissions of vibrations into the structure of the building.

 What is The Capacity Range for Air-Cooled Scroll Chillers?

Remember, as we earlier noted, scroll chillers do not withstand bulky cooling loads; that is why they do have limited capacity.

An optimum capacity range for the chillers is about 10 tons to 65 tons.

How Do You Install an Air-Cooled Scroll Chiller?

Installation of a chiller is a critical step that should only be undertaken by qualified and authentic contractors or personnel.

Nevertheless, below are some of the necessary steps that you would follow together with an installer contractor.

Step one; General Installation – fit and install the equipment by following the manufacturer’s pre-set conditions, project drawings, and other documents.

Step two; Site determination – place the chiller just the same way indicated in the drawings.

Provide clearance for service and maintenance according to manufacturers’ requirements.

Carefully adjust and level up the machine on the support structure.

Step three; Components– the contractor should be capable of issuing and installing the entire auxiliary devices for an utterly operational chiller.

Step four: electrical installation– assist the contractor in coordinating all the electrical connections and requirements for the whole power feed.

Step five: Control; organize every control requisites and connection.

Step six; Finishing– the contractor shall finally paint all the irritated or damaged sections using touch-up paint similar to the factory finish.

Do Air Cooled Scroll Chillers Have Microprocessor-Based Controllers?

Yes, most of the automatic scroll chillers have microprocessor-based controllers special in design with several features and advantages.

The controller has three standard modes of operation, which include:

  • Local mode for start/ stop control functions.
  • The remote mode has a remote start/ stop function via a digital input.
  • BMS mode: building Management System.

Besides, the microprocessor ensures that there is a uniform runtime of compressors.

Expressly, for machines with multiple compressors, then the microprocessor would guarantee smooth and equalization runtime.

The ultimate benefit with such a feature is a prolonged life service of the microprocessor.

What Safety and Protection Features Does Air-Cooled Scroll Chiller Have?

Air-cooled scroll chillers have safety features in the following chiller operational processes and compartments.

Refrigerant pressure – high-pressure switch and high voltage sensor

Temperature – chiller and burst protection sensor, Power module application sensor, IPM temperature detector,

Chilled water flow – water flow switch

Voltage and current – Fan motor excess current protection, compressor extra current protection, voltage checking system.

How Do You Optimize the Working of Air-Cooled Scroll Chillers?

Optimization of a chiller system involves a multi-dimensional approach that you have to undertake and deliver appropriately holistically.

And the process should begin with an evaluation of the system’s performance level.

More specifically, it incorporates a comprehensive analysis of the entire chiller’s energy consumption level in kW/ ton.

IoT is a crucial player in the optimization procedure.

The data-driven from IoT provides strategic, operational data for chilled water setpoints, load leveling, chiller sequencing, and peak demand management, etc

IoT, therefore, provides the entire tool system for such optimization by issuing an actual checking and verification procedure of power consumption for each chiller’s component.

IoT also collects, verifies, and confirms the data of the supply and return temperatures of the chilled water from the chiller.

It similarly keeps track of the flow rates of water from the water loop in the condenser.
