Installation Requirements for Professional Chillers used in Electroplating Industry

In the electroplating industry, oxidation electroplating and anodic oxidation chillers help stabilize metal and non-metal ions, allowing metal ions to quickly attach to electroplated parts, which not only increases density and smoothness, but also reduces the number of electroplating times and improves productivity. The chiller helps to quickly recover various chemicals and reduce waste. The electroplating chiller is equipped with PVC pipes, or PP pipes, chemical pumps, 316L stainless steel plate heat exchangers, or titanium tube heat exchangers on ordinary chillers.

Electroplating chiller installation steps:

1. The site where the unit is installed must be the floor, installation pad or foundation, whose levelness is within 6.4mm, and which can bear the operating weight of the unit.

2. Select the water pipe with the appropriate diameter, the cooling system and the cold water system when the unit is running at maximum power, and connect them correctly.

3. At one end of the unit, there should be a pumping space for cleaning the condenser tube bundle, and a door opening or other openings with suitable positions can also be used.

Installation Precautions:

1. In order to reduce noise and vibration, it is better to install a vibration isolator on the pipeline.

2. Generally speaking, correct water treatment and regular cleaning of the tube bundle can maintain its good performance. If the existing water quality conditions cannot be improved by appropriate methods, then it is necessary to consider allowing the tube bundle to have a larger fouling coefficient or specify Specialized materials of construction.

3. The unit should be placed in a computer room with a room temperature of 4.4-43.3°C, and there should be enough space around and above the unit for daily maintenance.

The principle of the nature of the chiller is a multifunctional machine that removes the liquid vapor through a compression or heat absorption refrigeration cycle. Vapor-compression chillers include four main components in the form of vapor-compression refrigeration cycle compressors, evaporators, condensers, and part metering devices to achieve different refrigerants. Absorption chillers use water as a refrigerant, and rely on a strong affinity between water and lithium bromide solution to achieve a cooling effect.
