1.What is A Pharmaceutical/Medical Chiller?

Pharmaceutical Chillers are cooling machines providing low-temperature cooling water, reduce the temperature of pharmaceutical cooling processing.

The pharmaceutical industry prepares medicines by processing through different heating and cooling parameters as blending, extrusion, mixing firmly adjusted by the unique efficient working of Pharmaceutical Chiller.

2.Why Pharmaceutical Industry Need Chillers?

Pharmaceutical chillers are reliable refrigeration solutions with constant cooling output,which are used for thermostatic and temperature control in the pharmaceutical industry.Depending on the form of the final drug product, factories use different manufacturing processes to produce their products, such as blenders, extrusion or hot-melt extrusion equipment, mixers, or jacketed vessels. In the manufacturing process, almost every process requires heating, cooling or both, so temperature control is one of the most important steps in the pharmaceutical production process, which is why chillers for pharmaceutical production are the best choice for pharmaceutical cooling best solution.

4.What’s the Difference Between Air-cooled & Water-cooled Pharmaceutical Chillers?

There are two types of Pharmaceutical chiller: one is air-cooled Pharmaceutical chiller ,the other is water-cooled Pharmaceutical chiller ;

Air-cooled Pharmaceutical chillers use ambient air to dissipate heat from the brewing processes. They are energy-efficient, space-saving, and less maintenance that helps save money.
Water-cooled Pharmaceutical chillers use water from an external water cooling tower to dissipate heat from the brewing processes. These systems are longer lifespan, Relatively quiet, and more consistent cooling performance than the air-cooled Pharmaceutical chiller.

6.What Are The Main Components of Pharmaceutical Chillers?

6.1 Compressor

The compressor is the key mover in water chiller because it produces pressure variations to stir the refrigerant around.

From 1/2HP(1/2 Ton) to 60HP(5oTon) waterjet cutting chiller , which is with Panasonic or Danfoss brand Scroll compressor ,

6.2 Evaporator

The evaporator is a crucial component of air-cooled water chiller, as it is responsible for extracting heat from the liquid being cooled,it is located between the compressor and the expansion valve. There are three types of evaporators : coil in water tank evaporator , shell and tube evaporator, 304SS stainless steel plate type evaporator.

6.3 Water Pump
The water pump is designed to increase the pressure and the flow of the chilled water in a closed space.
Pharmaceutical Chiller is used with 304 Stainless Steel Water pump.

6.4 Condenser

The condenser for air-cooled Pharmaceutical cooler is equipped with efficient cross-seam fins and female threaded copper tubes for high heat exchange efficiency and good stability.Its function is to cool down the refrigerant steam released from the compressor into a liquid or gas-liquid mixture.

The condenser for water-cooled Pharmaceutical cooler is shell and tube ,with the internal copper tubes employing an outer thread embossing process.This design effectively enhances the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant and water during the process. Compared to traditional smooth copper tubes, the outer thread embossing process increases the surface area of the copper tubes, thereby expanding the contact area for heat exchange and improving the thermal conductivity of the condenser. This optimization design allows the condenser of the water-cooled chiller to transfer heat from the refrigerant to the water more rapidly and consistently, enabling the water to carry away the heat.

8.How to Choose Right Pharmaceutical Chiller for Your Pharmaceutical Process?

How to calculate right cooling capacity for your Pharmaceutical chillers?

One of the most frequently ask about how we can know the cooling capacity for chillers.

The range of a chiller at which it can discharge heat from a heated fluid is called cooling capacity.

The cooling capacity of a laser Chiller ranges from 1/2KW to 100KW.

Let’s see the below formula.
Cooling Capacity(kw)= Flow Rate(m3/h)*Temp Change(T1-T2)/0.86
Heat Load= C(specific heat)* M(quality output per hour )*Temp Change(T1-T2)

Oversize the chiller by 20% Ideal Size in KW = KW x 1.2

Noted : T1:Incoming Water Temperature (℃) T2:Required Chilled Water Temperature(℃)

For example, what size of chiller is required to cool 5m³ water from 25°c to 15 °c in 1 hour?

Temperature Differential = 25℃-15℃=10℃
Water Flow Rate = 5 m³/hour

Cooling Capacity in KW = 5 x 10 ÷ 0.86 = 58,14 KW

Oversize the chiller = 58.14 x 1.2 = 69.76 KW

69.96kw cooling capacity for chiller is required.

Types of Pharmaceutical chiller system?
There are two types of chiller :Air Cooled Pharmaceutical Chiller and Water Cooled Pharmaceutical Chiller.

Water cooled chiller needs a separated water cooling tower and water cooling pump ,if you don‘t have exsiting water cooling tower,we suggest you use air cooled chiller; But if your ambiemt temperature is very high above 55℃ ,we suggest you use water cooled chiller , as it is easier to dissipate heat for water cooled chiller with water cooling tower.
But Most customers use air cooled Pharmaceutical chiller ,which is more easily install and save space.

Whether chillers need built-in Tank or not？

In a chiller system, a tank is usually equipped to buffer the thermal load of the chiller.

But should we choose a built-in type of tank or an external type of tank?

A chiller with a built-in tank is easier to install and can be used simply by connecting a water pipe to your application.

But it has a limited capacity and is not suitable for applications with larger chilled water demands.External tank’s capacity can be customized according to specific needs.

It can buffer a larger heat load, store more chilled water, but the installation will be more troublesome.

If you don‘t have external water tank ,we suggest our chiller built-with water tank ,which is easy for you to install.

1 KW=860 kcal/h ;

1 TON=3.517 KW;

1 KW=3412 Btu/h;
