An Ammonia Chilled Water Plant using glycol or brine is a refrigeration system designed to cool water or maintain low temperatures for industrial processes. Here’s a breakdown of its components and operation: Components: 1. Ammonia Compressor: Compresses ammonia gas, raising its temperature and pressure. 2. Condenser: Cools the high-pressure ammonia gas into a liquid by transferring heat to the surroundings. 3. Expansion Valve: Reduces the pressure of the liquid ammonia, causing it to evaporate. 4. Evaporator: Ammonia evaporates at low pressure, absorbing heat from the glycol or brine circulating through it. 5. Circulation Pump: Pumps chilled glycol or brine to the desired locations for cooling. Operation: 1. Ammonia is compressed, condensed, expanded, and evaporated in a continuous cycle. 2. In the evaporator, ammonia absorbs heat from glycol or brine, which acts as a secondary refrigerant. 3. The chilled glycol or brine is circulated to cool water or maintain low temperatures in various processes. Why Glycol or Brine? • Glycol (ethylene or propylene): Used for medium to low temperatures (-10°C to -40°C) and prevents freezing. • Brine (saltwater solutions): Effective for very low temperatures but more corrosive than glycol. Applications: • Cold storage warehouses • Food processing industries • Ice rinks • Chemical and pharmaceutical plants Would you like a detailed process flow diagram for better understanding?
