2 Description Limitations Conair EarthSmart ECM Series Chillers are chosen based on the cooling load, ambient temperature and cooling temperature. ● Cooling load - Choose a chiller that has 0 - 10% more cooling capacity than the process load to be chilled. ● Ambient temperature - The chiller’s air-cooled condenser requires an ambient air temperature between 40° to 95°F {4.4° to 35°C} for efficient operation. Operation above 95°F {35°C} may result in elevated condensing pressures and will ev

How it Works: Process Circulation (Left-side as viewed from the control) 1 2 3 Hot fluid from the process enters the chiller 1 through the “From Process” inlet into the chiller’s reservoir. Pump moves fluid from the reservoir through 2 evaporator where it is chilled. Fluid is chilled in the evaporator and exits 3 through the “To Process” outlet, returning to the process. 2-4 l Description

2 Description How it Works: Refrigerant Circulation (Right-side as viewed from the control) (Left-side as viewed from the control) 3 2 From Process inlet Pump To Process outlet 1 4 Drain/Fill The evaporator extracts heat from the process fluid, 1 causing the refrigerant to vaporize (evaporate) into a gas. Vaporized refrigerant travels to the compressor, where the 2 low-pressure vapor is compressed into a high-pressure, high-temperature vapor. The high-pressure, high-temperature vapor travels fro

How it Works: Component Listing Water system � Motor/Pump assembly - The motor/pump assembly circulates chilled coolant through the process loop. The pump assembly is built with brass to maintain water quality. Refrigeration system � Compressor - Hermetic compressor takes low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant gas and compresses the gas into high-pressure, high-temperature vapor. � Air-cooled condenser - The air-cooled condenser removes heat BTUs from the compressor refrigerant gas. The

2 Description How it Works: Component Listing (continued) � Evaporator - The evaporator is a brazed plate heat exchanger where the liquid refrigerant is allowed to evaporate (boil off) to absorb the heat (BTU) from the process fluid. As the heat is absorbed, the process fluid is chilled. ✐ � High/Low Pressure Switches: The high/low pressure switches protect the NOTE: The fan cycling switch refrigeration system from unsafe operating levels. The high pressure switch is adjustable when the chill
