What are the features of air cooled screw chillers?
Sep 30, 2025
The air cooled screw chiller, a critical component in the refrigeration industry, stands out for its unique design and advanced technology. The air cooled screw chiller offers significant advantages in industrial production and commercial sectors. Below are the key features of the air-cooled screw chiller.
1. High-Efficiency Cooling
Equipped with a screw compressor, the air cooled screw chiller uses a rotor structure that enables the refrigerant gas to be compressed efficiently and smoothly. It has a large compression ratio and a broad range of cooling capacity, making it suitable for medium to large-scale cooling needs. The screw chiller can quickly and steadily provide low-temperature cooling, meeting the requirements of various processes and spaces. Hengde has optimized the design of its screw compressors, choosing imported semi-hermetic twin-screw compressors. Compared to traditional rotary compressors, these offer high efficiency, quiet operation, simple operation, and long service life.
2. Air-Cooled Heat Exchange, No Water Source Required
Unlike water cooled screw chillers, air cooled screw chillers use air as the heat exchange medium. A fan drives the airflow through the condenser, enabling the refrigerant to exchange heat with the external air. This feature eliminates the need for a complex cooling water system, making installation and use more convenient, especially in areas where water is scarce or where it is difficult to install water cooling pipes, such as remote industrial plants or commercial buildings in water-deficient regions. Hengde has innovated the design of the air ducts, employing high-efficiency, low-noise fans and optimized heat exchange fins, ensuring effective heat dissipation while reducing noise, thus providing users with a quieter and more comfortable environment.
3. Easy Installation
With a compact overall structure and small footprint, the air-cooled screw chiller doesn’t require specialized cooling towers, water pumps, or water piping systems. Once the unit arrives at the site, it only needs simple positioning and electrical connections before being quickly put into operation. This greatly reduces installation time, costs, and engineering complexity. Hengde’s air-cooled screw chillers undergo strict pre-commissioning before leaving the factory to ensure the reliability and stability of all components. The company also provides detailed installation manuals and professional technical support, making it easy even for first-time users to install and start the unit.
4. Stable and Reliable Operation
The unit uses internationally renowned refrigeration components to ensure quality and operational stability. The evaporator and condenser are made with the latest high-efficiency spiral heat exchange copper tubes, which have a high heat transfer coefficient, ensuring excellent cooling performance. The air-cooled chiller is controlled by a microcomputer programmable controller, and its compressor features a multi-stage energy adjustment system that precisely controls the matching of cooling capacity and load in real-time.
5. Convenient Maintenance
The components of the air-cooled screw chiller are logically arranged, making them easy for maintenance personnel to access and operate. Major components, such as the compressor, condenser, and evaporator, have independent service spaces, making routine inspections, cleaning, and maintenance easier. Additionally, the intelligent control system can send fault alerts, helping maintenance personnel quickly identify and resolve issues, reducing maintenance difficulty and costs. Hengde's screw chillers feature independent refrigeration circuits that can be maintained and repaired separately without affecting the operation of the entire unit. The professional after-sales service team is always ready to respond to maintenance needs, ensuring the unit operates at its best.
6. Energy-Efficient and Environmentally Friendly
With continuous technological advancements, modern air-cooled screw chillers incorporate high-efficiency heat exchangers and energy-saving compressors, improving energy utilization and reducing energy consumption. Their air-cooled heat exchange system also avoids environmental pollution caused by cooling water discharge, aligning with current trends in energy conservation and environmental protection. Hengde actively responds to national energy-saving and environmental protection policies by exploring and applying new energy-efficient materials and technologies during product development. As a result, Hengde’s air-cooled screw chillers achieve industry-leading energy efficiency, helping customers reduce operational costs while contributing positively to environmental conservation.
With features such as high-efficiency cooling, easy installation, stable operation, convenient maintenance, and energy efficiency, the air-cooled screw chiller is an ideal choice for refrigeration needs across various industries. Hengde, known for its technological innovation, product quality, and exceptional after-sales service, has become a trusted choice for customers when selecting air-cooled screw chillers.
