What is the appropriate outlet temperature for a water cooler? A few days ago, during a follow-up visit to a certain methanol company, it was found that the temperature behind the water cooler was 22°C. When asked for the reason, the reply was: 1. Good low-temperature methanol separation ； 2. Low-temperature crude methanol storage tanks have low evaporation losses. Please discuss whether this level of control is the best
30-40℃ is more appropriate; too low a temperature can lead to wax formation, and it also hinders the evaporation of substances with low boiling points. On the other hand, if the temperature is too high, significant amounts of methanol will evaporate and be lost.
It is generally most appropriate to keep the temperature between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius; if the temperature is too low, the compressor’s load becomes too high
There are a large number of air coolers and circulating water fans in operation, resulting in high power consumption.
The temperature difference between the cooling water inlet and outlet should be kept within 10; too large a difference can lead to scaling, while too small a difference reduces energy efficiency.
Cooling it down to 22°C is still beneficial for charging the compressor.
The cooling loss is too high; 30 to 40 is more appropriate.
