What is an oil chiller?

Oil chillers play an important role in modern industry and can be found in everything from industrial production to healthcare to the energy sector. In this article, we'll explore the world of oil chillers, learning about their features, applications and benefits, in order to bring more efficient and reliable cooling solutions to your production.

How oil chillers work?


An oil chiller, also known as an oil chiller, is a device that utilizes the principle of refrigerant evaporation and heat absorption to reduce the temperature of oil in machine tools or industrial equipment.

In a machine tool, the oil tank is connected to the oil chiller by an inlet line. The hot oil is extracted by an oil pump and transported inside the oil chiller system. Inside the oil chiller system, the hot oil undergoes a series of processes, including compression, condensation, throttling, evaporation and other cyclic refrigeration processes, so that the temperature of the oil is reduced. The cooled oil is returned to the oil tank of the machine through the outlet piping of the oil chiller to maintain the oil temperature within the appropriate operating range.


Oil chiller's application


●New energy electric drive system: such as drive motor, drive motor control, charging pile, etc.

●Cutting machine tools: During the cutting process, the friction between the machine tool and the cutting tool generates a large amount of heat, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the lubricant. High temperature will reduce the performance of the lubricant, affecting the lubrication effect, which in turn affects the precision and quality of the cutting process. Through the use of chiller cooling hot oil, can effectively reduce the oil temperature, keep the lubricant in the appropriate working temperature range, improve the quality and efficiency of cutting processing.

●Metallurgical industry: In metallurgical process, especially in iron and steel production, oil chillers can be used to cool lubricating oil or cooling process fluid, prevent equipment from overheating, and improve production efficiency and product quality.

●Energy industry: oil chillers are widely used in power plants, nuclear power plants, petrochemical and other energy industries in the lubrication system, used to cool the lubricating oil and maintain a stable operating temperature of the equipment.

●Automobile industry: in the field of automobile manufacturing and maintenance, oil chillers can be used to cool engine oil, transmission oil and brake system oil and other lubrication systems to improve the performance and reliability of automobiles.

●Aerospace: In the aerospace field, oil chillers can be used in the lubrication system of aircraft engines to control the oil temperature and improve engine performance.

●Food Processing Industry: In food processing and manufacturing, oil chillers can be used to cool the lubricating oil of food processing equipment or to cool food materials.

●Printing and Packaging Industry: Oil chillers in printing and packaging equipment can be used to cool the lubricating oil of the equipment or control the temperature of the equipment to ensure high-speed operation and product quality.

●Laser industry: lasers and other high-power equipment need effective heat dissipation system to control the temperature of the equipment, oil chillers can be used to cool the laser and laser fiber and other components.

●Power electronic equipment: In power electronic equipment, such as frequency converters, motor drives and battery systems, oil chillers can be used to dissipate heat and control equipment temperature to improve efficiency and reliability.

●Solar Thermal Power Generation: In solar thermal power generation systems, oil chillers can be used to cool the heat transfer oil to ensure efficient conversion of heat energy and stable operation of the system.

●Wind power: Oil chillers in wind power lubrication systems are used to cool lubricating oil to ensure reliable operation of wind turbines.

●Mining and Mining: In mining and mining equipment, oil chillers are used to cool the lubricating oil and control the temperature of the equipment to improve the reliability and life of the equipment.

●Wastewater Treatment: In wastewater treatment, oil chillers are used to cool wastewater pumps and other equipment to prevent overheating and malfunction.

●Welding equipment: In welding equipment, oil chillers can be used to cool welding torches and welding transformers to ensure the stable operation of the equipment and extend the life of the equipment.

●High-speed trains and railroad systems: oil chillers in high-speed trains and railroad systems can be used to cool the train's transmission system, braking system and lubrication system to improve performance and safety.
Other equipment to ensure the normal operation of ships and the reliability of marine engineering.

●Textile industry: In textile production process, oil chillers can be used to cool the lubricating oil of textile machinery to control the temperature of the equipment, reduce wear and tear and improve productivity.


Advantages of Kassel oil chillers


●Upper exhaust design: Kassel oil chiller adopts the upper exhaust design, compared with the side exhaust and lower exhaust design, its exhaust port is located higher and is less likely to be obstructed or clogged, so there is less wind resistance. This design allows for faster cooling, improved cooling efficiency and more uniform temperature distribution.

●Kassel offers customized services to provide customized oil chiller products according to the specific needs of customers. For example, oil chillers can be equipped with positive pressure explosion-proof or isolated explosion-proof functions to meet the safety requirements in specific environments.

●High-quality raw materials: Kassel oil chillers are equipped with spare parts of international first-class brands. Such as Emerson pressure gauge, Siemens control panel, Copeland pressurized molding machine, danfoss expansion valve and so on.

●Simple and clear electrical wiring: clear electrical wiring diagrams enable users to better understand, operate and maintain the electrical system of the oil chiller, improve operational safety and quickly troubleshooting.

●High energy efficiency ratio: with a small energy input per unit, Kassel oil chillers are able to produce more cooling effect.

●Long service life: Kassel oil chillers have a service life of up to 15 years, thanks to our use of high quality materials, advanced design and manufacturing techniques. We build every oil chiller with care to ensure reliability and durability, so your equipment runs long and stays with you all the way.

●Adaptable: Kassel oil chillers can be adapted to different load demands, temperature ranges and operating environments, and parameters and configurations can be adjusted to meet specific application requirements.
