I would like to ask what the maximum outlet pressure of a small chiller can be?
We use turbine-driven centrifugal compressors, with the outlet pressure of the ice makers being 1.66 MPa; this value varies depending on the specific ice maker.
What I would like to ask is: is it possible to use a screw-type compact chiller to send ammonia into a medium-pressure tank at 1.6 Mpa?
It’s a bit difficult, right? Our small chiller (with a standard cooling capacity of 244 KW) operates at pressures not exceeding 1.5 Mpa
It’s possible; for what we use, this pressure basically triggers an interlock at high outlet pressure.
The discharge pressure of our company’s centrifugal ice machines is around 12 kilograms
I guess I need to consult the manufacturer of the chiller!
The maximum pressure of the small refrigeration units we use does not exceed 16 kilograms
It depends on the model; here we use screws with a pressure of 1.5 MAP
Check the design pressure of your chiller; the lower the pressure, the more economical it is. If the pressure is too high, check whether there is a leak of high-pressure gas in the ammonia cooling system
The outlet pressure of a small chiller can reach up to 17 kilograms, but operating at such a pressure results in high power consumption, is uneconomical, and has a low safety factor; therefore, it is generally kept below 15 kilograms.
