In chiller systems, (máy làm lạnh), GLYCOL (typically ethylene glycol or propylene glycol) is an antifreeze used in the cooling solution to prevent water from freezing in low-temperature refrigeration applications.
6 Reasons Why You Should Check GLYCOL Flow in CHILLER Systems
Glycol is a critical component that ensures stable operation of chiller systems at low temperatures and protects equipment from damage due to freezing or corrosion.
- Optimize Cooling Performance: Proper glycol flow → Smooth system operation, achieving designed capacity.
- Prevent Pipe Freezing: Adequate glycol circulation → Prevents pipe cracking due to ice formation.
- Protect the Compressor: Stable flow → Reduces the risk of overloading, extending compressor lifespan.
- Save Energy: Balanced flow → Reduces energy waste by up to 15%.
- Early Detection of Issues and Minimized Downtime: Regular checks help identify problems early, reducing system downtime.
- Maintain Optimal Glycol Concentration: Ensures effective antifreeze properties and heat transfer efficiency.
Additionally, GLYCOL Additionally, GLYCOL often contains corrosion inhibitors to protect metal components in the chiller system (pipes, tanks, etc.). Checking the flow and concentration of glycol ensures that these inhibitors are evenly distributed, preventing chemical or electrochemical corrosion, thereby extending the system's lifespan.
