In regards to a water chiller unit, the terms low pressure and high pressure refer to the compressor, which takes low pressure and compresses it into high pressure gas, which is then turned into a liquid to cool the unit.

Major components of chiller unit?

The major components of a chiller unit include the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. The compressor is responsible for circulating the refrigerant through the system. The condenser releases heat from the refrigerant, causing it to condense into a liquid. The evaporator absorbs heat from the chilled water, causing the refrigerant to evaporate and cool the water. The expansion valve regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, controlling the cooling process.


When the high side pressure is low and the low side pressure is high on a residential air conditioning unit what is the problem?

If your low side (evaporator coil) pressure is higher than your high side (condenser coil) while the compressor is running, your switching valve is in the reversed position. That is, you are in the heating mode of the heat-pump, and the pressures are reversed to provide heat into the home.


Unit of static pressure of fan?

Usually, due to the relatively low value of the static pressure of a fan, the unit that this pressure is expressed is milibar, mm H2O, psi, mm Hg, kPa, hPa. In the US, inches H2O.


What the difference between extraction and bleeding in steam turbine?

bleed is amount of steam output from turbine through pipe and exit from final stage of turbine . this bleed enter to feed water heater (low and high) and deaereator to increase unit efficiency or rather bleed is the amount of steam drained out of the steam turbine during the expansion of steam and this rejected heat energy is used to heat the feed water supplied to the boiler...........


What is the unit of stress in MKS system?

Stress has the same dimensions as pressure: force per unit area. In the SI, therefore (or in other MKS systems), the units would be newtons / meter2.

What is Condenser pressure in absorption chiller?

Condenser pressure in an absorption chiller refers to the pressure within the condenser unit where the refrigerant vapor is condensed into a liquid. It is influenced by the temperature of the cooling medium (usually water or air) used to remove heat from the refrigerant. Maintaining appropriate condenser pressure is crucial for the efficient operation of the chiller, as it affects the overall performance and capacity of the cooling system. High condenser pressure can reduce efficiency and increase energy consumption, while low pressure can lead to inadequate refrigerant flow.


Where is the rupture disc located on a low pressure chiller?

the rupture disc is piped off the chiller barrel (evaporator) and will vent the refrigerant outside incase of over pressure of the unit


How high a column of water will a water pressure of 60psi support?

A water pressure of 60 psi can support a column of water that is approximately 138.2 feet (42.1 meters) high. This is calculated by dividing the pressure in pounds per square inch by the unit weight of water.


What should be done to reduce refrigerant loss from a purge unit on a CFC-11 chiller?

Leak test and repair the chiller.


What is the relation between ahu and chiller?

Ahu (air handling unit) and chiller are both components of a building's HVAC system. The AHU is responsible for circulating and conditioning air, while the chiller is responsible for cooling the water that circulates through the building to remove heat. The AHU uses the chilled water from the chiller to help control the temperature and humidity levels in the building.


Why your split AC not dripping water outside like it use to before it was serviced?

Sounds like: 1. The "drip pipe" (condensate drain) is blocked, or 2. The chiller unit is not working - because chilled air gives up its humidity, "dripping" (condensation) is a sign that the chiller unit is actually chilling the air and producing water - the "drips".


What does a ac pressure switch do?

A pressure switch a valve that shuts off the unit when the pressure is to low or to high


Where can I find a plate chiller?

A plate chiller is one of two things: either a kind of refrigeration unit for a restaurant, that chills the plates and glasses, or a plate chiller/wort chiller for use in home brewing of beer. http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=plate+chiller&_frs=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m359


What side is the ac condenser on a unit?

The high pressure side.


What are the materials needed for installing platform for new chiller unit?

There are several materials needed for installing a platform for a new chiller unit. The tools needed are concrete nips, hose cutters, anti-freeze, dis-stilled water, oil, open end wrenches, refrigerant, metro sockets, and spring lock coupler disconnects.


What is the standard unit of measurement used to quantify water pressure?

The standard unit of measurement used to quantify water pressure is pounds per square inch (psi).


Do you pressurize the bladder in a G E homespring water filtration system with or without water pressure in the unit?

Mine came new with air pressure in the bladder & no water in the unit so I would assume that you would pressurize the bladder with no water in the unit . Hope this helps .
