What Is Cooling Equipment?
Cooling Equipment is a general term for equipment used to remove heat from water, oil, products, equipment, raw materials, etc., to maintain them at the proper temperature.
Types of Cooling Equipment
Industrial cooling equipment can be divided into three main categories: those used for cooling necessary for production and manufacturing processes, those used for internal cooling of equipment, and those used for air conditioning of facilities and equipment.
Cooling required for production and manufacturing processes in agriculture, fisheries, and factories is called process cooling, which can be broadly classified into cooling equipment and material cooling. Cooling equipment is used to reduce the heat generated by equipment such as metal processing machines, printing presses, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and medical devices, and to prevent malfunctions and loss of accuracy, thereby improving production efficiency and safety.
For example, chiller units and cooling equipment, which cool water and other heat media.
On the other hand, product cooling is used to improve quality and production efficiency by cooling heat from injection moldings, metalworking products, plating solvents, and food products to a temperature suitable for processing and storage.
One example is seawater cooling equipment, which cools seawater in the fish tanks of fishing vessels to maintain the freshness of the catch. Cooling equipment differs greatly in its cooling mechanism, so it is important to select the right type according to the environment in which it will be used and its intended use.
Electronic cooling equipment is the most common type of equipment used for internal cooling. Compact, lightweight, and quiet, they are used to cool CPUs inside PCs and CCD cameras.
Cooling equipment used for air conditioning of large-scale facilities and equipment includes chiller units and cooling towers that utilize vaporization heat.
Energy Conservation Performance of Cooling Equipment
The main energy efficiency evaluation criteria for Cooling Equipment are the "energy consumption coefficient (COP)," which indicates the operating efficiency at 100% load, and the "period performance factor (IPLV)," which is a weighted average of the operating efficiency at 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% load, plus the rate of occurrence. It is recommended to select a more energy-efficient system after considering COP and IPLV, respectively.
