Cooling Electroplating: Water Cooled Chiller Application

6 Reasons Why Water Cooled Chiller is Essential for Plating Line

Pre-treatment stage: Before plating, it is usually necessary to carry out some pre-treatment on the workpiece, such as de-oiling, de-fouling, and degreasing. In these pretreatment processes, it may be necessary to control the temperature of the cleaning solution or degreasing agent to ensure the cleaning effect, improve the cleaning efficiency, reduce the evaporation of the cleaning solution, and protect the surface quality of the workpiece, ensure the stability and consistency of the pretreatment process, and lay a good foundation for the subsequent plating process.


Pickling stage: Pickling is a common step in the plating process for removing oxides and other impurities from the metal surface. In the pickling process, controlling the temperature of the acid solution can affect the cleaning effect and reaction rate. Using an water cooled chiller to control the temperature of the pickling solution can effectively regulate the reaction rate in the pickling process so that it is carried out in a suitable range to ensure stability, consistency, and pickling effect.

Plating solution stirring: In the plating process, it is usually necessary to stir the plating solution to maintain its uniformity and stability. The heat generated during the stirring process may cause the temperature of the plating solution to rise. Excessive temperature of the stirring equipment may cause the temperature of the plating solution to rise, affecting the effect and quality of the plating. By using an industrial chiller to cool the stirring equipment, the temperature of the stirring equipment can be effectively controlled to ensure that the temperature of the plating solution is always within the appropriate range. In addition, using an water cooled chiller to cool the stirring equipment, can effectively reduce the temperature of the stirring equipment, slow down the wear and tear speed, and prolong the service life of the equipment.


Plating solution precipitation: Some plating solutions need to be precipitated before use to remove impurities and sediments. During the precipitation process, higher temperatures may accelerate the rate of the precipitation reaction, resulting in an unstable precipitation process or undesirable precipitation products. By using an water cooled chiller to control the temperature of the plating solution, the rate and efficiency of the precipitation reaction can be regulated, with less foam generated to ensure the quality and stability of the plating solution.


Plating solution electrolysis: Plating is the core step of the plating process, in which the workpiece is immersed in the plating solution as anode or cathode for electrolysis. Controlling the temperature of the plating solution is critical to the uniformity and quality of the plated layer, so an water cooled chiller is required to control the temperature of the plating solution.


Post-treatment stage: After plating is completed, some post-treatment of the workpiece may be required, such as cleaning, neutralization, drying, etc. In the post-treatment stage, the temperature of the cleaning solution can be effectively controlled through the use of industrial chiller to reduce the heat of the workpiece, realize rapid cooling, protect the surface of the workpiece, and save energy, thus ensuring the stability and consistency of the post-treatment process and improving the production efficiency and product quality.
