Recirculating Coolers for Constant Temperature Control
The CS line of chillers combines cool and smart technology in one unit. All the models are air-
cooled and work with refrigerants R404A. They are equipped with bypass, manometer and sensor
to monitor the flow. The temperature control is part of the secondary circuit. A motorized valve
on the primary circuit automatically regulates the water volume. The models are equipped with a
recirculation pump with performance up to 125 l/min and 4.5 bar. With a cooling power up to 30
kW, the devices are particularly suited for constant temperature control for laboratory applications.
The compact recirculating chillers are designed for low noise operation.

Tube-to-Fin, Liquid-to-Air Heat Exchangers
Liquid-to-air heat exchangers have high density fins to maximize heat transfer, allowing the liquid to be cooled to lower
temperatures. The heat exchanger fins and tubes are made of copper and stainless steel to be suitable for a variety of
fluids, including water, dielectric fluids and custom designed heat transfer fluids. Each of the seven heat exchanger sizes is
available with or without a fan. The heat exchangers have silver-solder brazed joints and have been internally cleaned and
externally coated for corrosion protection. They
have heat transfer capacities up to 250 W per 1°C
difference between the inlet liquid and the inlet air
temperatures. The heat exchangers allow heat from
a fluid (either a liquid or a gas) to pass to another
liquid or gas without the two fluids having to mix or
come into direct contact.

Portable Chillers with Variable-Speed Compressors Offer Energy Savings
The 10-ton and 20-ton EP2 Series can handle low, partial and full chilling loads. In head-
to-head tests against 10- and 20-ton chillers equipped with fixed-speed and digital scroll
compressors, the company says, the portable chillers with variable-speed compressors
provided energy savings of 20 to 50 percent in a range of realistic and low-load conditions.
This option is available on both water-cooled and air-cooled models from the company. The
20-ton chiller combines a 10-ton variable-
speed compressor with a 10-ton fixed
speed compressor. Consequently, the
energy savings compared to conventional
single-speed chillers are not significant
in the middle-load range, where either
compressor would be running at full
capacity (10 tons). All portable chillers
with the variable-speed compressor
option from this company also include a
touchscreen controller with easy-to-use
operational and diagnostic screens.

were designed with davit swing-

arm assemblies to help facilitate
removal of the bonnets for periodic
inspection and manual cleaning
when needed.
This dual exchanger approach,
despite the advantage of simplicity,
had several drawbacks. First, the
cooling performed in the first
exchanger was limited to the
temperature that the cooling tower
water was being heated to on the
shell side. In other words, when the
soup entering the exchanger at 198°F
(92°C) met the cooling tower water
entering the shell at 70°F (21°C), it
heated up the cooling tower water to
around 120°F (49°C). The soup could
not be cooled below this level of
120°F (49°C), which is known as the
temperature cross or temperature
pinch. This would then put most
of the burden on the glycol/water
chiller to perform the bulk of the
cooling, requiring a larger and more
expensive chiller unit.
The other issue that presented
itself was the ability to completely
clean the unit between batches of
product. Although the exchanger
could be cleaned by backflushing

HEAT EXCHANGERS
A stacked set of exchangers with the product jumpers removed shows the tubes in the exchangers.
In order to allow for a smaller tube field that would

provide the 5 ft/sec velocity for cleaning, the exchanger
diameter was reduced from 24” to 6”. Because of the
reduction in surface area per heat exchanger, it was
necessary to add more exchangers to the set. The first,
large unit being cooled by the cooling tower water was
replaced by six smaller exchangers. For the final cooling
utilizing the chiller, the larger exchanger was replaced by
two of the smaller units.
As the design simulations unfolded, other benefits
started to show themselves. By restricting the flow of the
product to a smaller number of tubes, the velocity of the
product also increased. This improved the heat transfer
when cooling the soup product. It also allowed the cooling
tower water to be split into a fresh stream flowing into
each of the six shells, avoiding the temperature cross
experienced in the larger unit. During winter months,
when their cooling water was colder than 70°F (21°C), it
was possible to shut down the glycol/water chiller and
perform all of the cooling with just cooling tower water,
saving utility costs.
The smaller diameter exchangers were easier
to construct and polish to meet the 3-A sanitary
requirements. They were efficient to clean using the onsite
CIP system, and they were simpler to take apart to inspect
due to the smaller, lighter bonnets on each exchanger.

COOLING TOWERS Faced with an aging cooling tower, a
powdered-metal parts maker installed
an HDPE plastic cooling tower. The low
maintenance tower has a seamless shell
design without joints, seams, panels,
gaskets, bolts, fasteners or caulking.
Corrosion-Resistant
Plastic Cooling Towers
Cut Costs
For operations using extreme heat, engineered plastic cooling
towers provide cooling and can outlast traditional alternatives.

hen it comes to process powdered metal and alloy mixtures sintering, metalworking and other
cooling, few industries are compacted into near-net shapes, industrial processes, these galvanized

“We were losing a lot of water out

tower continued to rust, and the problem became worse,”
adds Crawford.
The cooling tower, having been relocated from a
shuttered, second location prior to Phoenix Sintered
Metals LLC’s acquisition of the facility, was oversized for
the current operation by about 60 percent. While this did
not impact the unit’s cooling capability, an oversized unit
adds to operating costs in terms of electricity to operate
fans and pumps. Water replacement and specialized water
chemistries costs also are higher.

seamless-shell design does not have joints, seams, panels,
gaskets, bolts, fasteners or caulking like conventional towers.
“What drew our attention right away is that we wouldn’t
have to worry about the rusting of the shell,” says Crawford.
“Granted, had we purchased a new, galvanized tower, it
wouldn’t require much upkeep at first, but eventually it
would get to that point where we would have those same
issues.”
Phoenix Sintered selected an induced-draft tower.
Crawford says he is impressed by the cost and length of
warranty associated with plastic cooling towers. Because
HDPE towers are unaffected by corrosives, they require
little maintenance and provide a longer service life.

Gasketed plate heat exchangers
generally offer the highest thermal
efficiency of heat exchanger types,
but the gasket compatibility and
narrow flow channel are not suitable
for the thick bitumen. The flow

Block-type welded plate heat
exchangers eliminate use of
elastomer gaskets. But, with the
plates’ chevron corrugation, it
is still difficult for the highly
viscous bitumen to flow through
the channels. The high viscosity
increases the pressure drop across
the heat exchanger. In addition,

problematic, especially with larger
units. Asymmetric designs are

Your Dirty Process Water Is

Increasing Your Total Operating Costs!
On Demand until August 17, 2018
HOW HIGH EFFICIENCY FILTRATION SYSTEMS REDUCE
UNPLANNED FACILITY MAINTENANCE & SHUTDOWN COSTS
Scientific studies have shown that fine particles are the adherent contaminants fouling
the water loop and process cooling system.
Manufacturing facilities are routinely reviewing their system’s water quality and
treatment levels to prevent early and rapid corrosion, scale and biological growth;
leading to unplanned facility maintenance or shutdown and possible product failure.
With time, these fine particles will have an impact on your manufacturing costs,
operating costs and production losses, while diminishing the quality of your final
product. Listen to our process cooling expert as he explores how you can reduce your
total operating/maintenance costs while achieving your water reuse and sustainability
objectives. Protect your facility, your investments and your bottom line!
Primary Discussion Topics / Agenda
- Understanding suspended solids and their impact
- 5 key trends in process cooling applications
- Review available water filtration technologies
- How to overcome drought with water filtration
