Dear experts, I have a question: what is the purpose of using pressure boost pumps and surge tanks in the process of a freezing plant (chiller)? Thank you very much.
A booster pump is, of course, used for boosting pressure. A high-level tank has the function of storing liquid at a higher level; it can store the liquid and also discharge it without the need for power. This is the best way to answer this question in words
The sump can serve to absorb the expansion of liquids
I guess the booster pump’s high-level tank and a refrigeration unit form a separate small system; perhaps the temperature range of the object to be cooled differs from that of the main system, and there may also be a risk of leaks.
