By extracting heat from the system and transferring it to another location, an industrial chiller is a cooling system used to lower the temperature of equipment, industrial spaces, and process fluids.
The majority of the time, chilled water or a water/glycol solution is pumped from the chiller to the process in process cooling applications. The warm fluid returns to the chiller after this cool fluid removes heat from the process.
Heat is transferred from the process to the chiller through the process water. A device that regulates temperature by circulating a liquid, such as water or heat medium used as a cooling liquid whose temperature was altered by the refrigerant cycle, is referred to as a chiller (cooling water circulation device).
The Global Industrial Refrigeration Chiller market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Launch of a New Series of Large-Capacity Centrifugal Chillers Using Low-GWP Refrigerant by MHI Thermal Systems A new line of large-capacity centrifugal chillers will be introduced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd., a division of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), using the CFC-free HFO-1234yf refrigerant, which has zero ozone depletion and a GWP below 1.
The constant-speed JHT-Y and the inverter-equipped JHT-YI are the two models in the series. Both of the new models have capacities between 300 and 5,400 refrigeration tonnes (RT), with the greatest capacity representing an increase of 400 RT over the previously introduced “GART-ZE/ZEI” series.
The JHT-Y and JHT-YI are the first commercially available centrifugal chillers in Japan with capacities up to 5,400 RT that use a low-GWP refrigerant. MHI Thermal Systems will now provide a full portfolio of low-GWP refrigerant models in variations ranging from 150 to 5,400 RT, in addition to the “ETI-Z” series of centrifugal chillers in the small-to-medium capacity range introduced.
Additionally, a brand-new type of compressor is used in the new series. Expanding the number of models makes it possible to choose the best compressor to match the chiller’s output and achieve great performance over a wide capacity range.
The constant-speed variant, which continues to offer one of the best levels of energy efficiency and compact dimensions, has a rating COP of 6.9. The newest microcomputer operating panel allows for the supremely precise control of the new series of chillers, and both the constant-speed and inverter models may adapt to a variety of applications, including low-temperature, heat-pump, and heat-recovery requirements.
The HFO-1234yf refrigerant, which is also used in vending machines and automobile air conditioners, has the same atmospheric greenhouse effect as natural refrigerants and has no ozone depletion potential (ODP).
The HFO-1234yf is exempt from Japan’s Revised Fluorocarbons Recovery and Destruction Law since it does not emit any dangerous gases into the atmosphere, it does not need to be captured after use, and it does not degrade.
As opposed to equipment that uses high-GWP refrigerants, such as HFC-134a, which was widely used prior to the implementation of the revised legislation, these systems have a significant negative impact on global warming, and as a result, laws now call for reductions in both their production and usage volumes.
