Two-Stage Glycol/Ammonia Chiller

CHALLENGE

  • Design a two-stage vapor compression system using one heat exchanger as a glycol vapor/cooling water condenser.
  • Configure a second as an ammonia vapor/glycol liquid condenser.
  • Configure a third heat exchanger as an ammonia liquid/refrigerant evaporator.

SOLUTION

Tranter SUPERMAX® Shell And Plate Heat Exchangers for all three duties.

RESULTS

  • Compact footprint
  • Good performance in condensing and evaporating.

Tranter SUPERMAX® Shell And Plate Heat Exchangers are versatile enough to be configured as condensers and evaporators of extremely high efficiency.
