ICE WATER UNIT

 

An ice water unit is a device used as a cooling system. This unit is employed to cool process fluids or maintain a constant temperature during phase changes that occur in processes. For instance, it can be used to cool a chemical process liquid.

An ice water unit typically consists of a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The compressor compresses the liquid refrigerant, raising its temperature, which is then cooled in the condenser. The expansion valve regulates the pressure of the refrigerant, allowing it to be sent to the evaporator. The evaporator is utilized for the phase change process that leads to a decrease in liquid temperature.

An ice water unit is an essential tool for temperature control in processes. Additionally, it can contribute to energy savings by utilizing chilled water for a range of processes. Contact us for your ice water unit needs.
