Process Chillers

Blue Star, India’s leading airconditioning company, has been providing expert cooling solutions for over seven decades now. It has been a pioneer in manufacturing a wide range of Screw, Scroll and Centrifugal Chillers catering to various applications such as hospitals, hotels, green buildings and process industries.

Drawing from this expertise, Blue Star presents a range of aircooled Process Chillers for diverse industrial process application needs.

Process applications, such as those encountered in the pharmaceutical, medical, textile, plastic, packaging, and food-processing industries require precise temperature control at all times. This translates within the chiller into precise water temperatures at all times, and an ability to work under all ambient conditions.

Blue Star Process Chillers are specifically designed keeping process needs in mind. Moreover, it Includes an energy-efficient and reliable scroll compressor as well as a stainless steel plate-type heat exchanger.

With an integrated pump, buffer tank and a plug-in design Blue Star aircooled Process Chillers enable simplified pipe routing and also ensure that the industrial process is not interrupted at any point of time. These are not the features that a typical chiller can provide.

Overall, these Process Chillers not only ensure precise temperature control but also offer the following key benefits:

  • Increased productivity and reduced production cycle time
  • Reduced production costs and minimal wastage
  • Reduced maintenance time and fewer interruptions during production
  • Enhanced product quality

Since these Process Chillers operate in a closed circuit, they also offer the following advantages:

  • Precise water temperature control, independent of ambient conditions
  • Quick reaction to any sudden load changes, ensuring steady operating conditions
  • Re-utilisation of the chilled water thereby avoiding wastage and reducing health hazards of water-borne bacteria

Blue Star's microprocessor-controlled, aircooled Process Chillers come with the following features:

Highly efficient scroll compressor

Time-tested scroll compressors are used in these chillers, which are highly energy-efficient. This results in higher reliability as well as lower power bills. These compressors are suction gas-cooled, fully hermetic and provided with a crank-case heater.

Multi-compressor advantage

The presence of multiple compressors helps the system in two ways: there is built-in redundancy adding therefore to reliability; and it allows for capacity modulation by switching on only as many compressors as will be required at any time to suit part-loads, thereby increasing efficiency.

Quick to install

Blue Star Process Chillers come pre-fitted with insulated chilled water tank and chilled water pump. The units also come fully wired, refrigerant charged, and tested from factory before dispatch. In the field therefore, only chilled water and electrical connections need to be made before the system is ready for commissioning.

High-efficiency heat transfer

The condensor calls on these chillers have super-slit aluminium fins, with internally finned copper tubes. Fins are optionally coated with anti-corrosive blue-coating. All these measures increase heat transfer and improve efficiency, while preventing corrosion tοo.

Corrosion-resistant structure

The body is made of galvanized steel coated with pure polyester, UV-resistant powder coating, tested to withstand 500 hours of salt spray test. Rigid base frames cater to the full weight of the chiller during handling and installation. All refrigerant lines are fabricated of copper and the complete hydronic circuit, including water flow switch, strainer, auto air vent, and thermo-well are of non-ferrous material to avoid corrosion.

Load balancing system

Generally, the heat load in process applications fluctuates heavily, A load balancing system is therefore implemented in Blue Star Process Chillers to ensure the supply of constant temperature, leaving water at both high and low loads. While the water storage tank takes care of sudden demand for high heat load, the load balancing valve takes care of low loads. This unique combination supplies chilled water to the process at a fairly constant temperature.
