Frequency Inverter (Drive) and Automation Integration in Chiller Systems

In industrial cooling systems, the largest operating cost is the electrical energy consumed by compressors. Systems operating on traditional "On/Off" logic work at full capacity even when cooling demand is low, leading to significant energy waste. Today, modern HVAC and process cooling infrastructures provide capacity control through a much smarter method: frequency inverters (drives).

Increasing Capacity with Economizer Usage in Chiller Units

In industrial refrigeration systems, the largest component of operating costs is the electrical energy consumed by compressors. When your facility's cooling demand increases or the efficiency of the existing system drops, the first solution that comes to mind is usually investing in a new and larger chiller unit. However, with engineering solutions based on thermodynamic principles, it is possible to achieve a significant capacity increase in your existing system. Leading among these solutions is the use of an economizer (subcooler). Particularly in chiller systems utilizing screw compressors, the economizer circuit is a critical component that increases cooling capacity and elevates the system's COP (Coefficient of Performance) without additional power consumption.
