겨울이 오고 기온이 떨어지면, 산업용 또는 실험실용 냉각수 냉각기에 대한 적절한 유지 관리 및 부동액 보호는 매우 중요합니다.. 올바르게 처리하지 않으면, 물이 얼면 내부 부품이 손상될 수 있습니다., 블록 파이프, 심각한 시스템 오류를 일으킬 수 있습니다.. 마이크로 쿨링 솔루션 전문 제조사로서, 쿨링스타일 offers expert advice to help you keep your water chiller running safely and efficiently throughout the cold season.
Why Winter Maintenance Matters for Your Water Chiller
During winter, the biggest challenge for any water chiller is the risk of water freezing inside the system. When the ambient temperature drops below 0°C (32°F), the coolant may start to solidify, 이끌어냅니다:
- Cracked pipes, 슬리퍼, or heat exchangers
- Reduced cooling efficiency and unstable operation
- System alarm shutdowns or compressor damage
- Unexpected maintenance costs and downtime
To ensure your equipment remains in perfect condition, 쿨링스타일 recommends several preventive and maintenance actions for winter operation.
1. Use the Right Antifreeze Solution
Adding an antifreeze agent to your cooling loop is the most effective way to prevent freezing. The type and concentration of antifreeze depend on your working environment and temperature range.
Recommended Types:
- Ethylene glycol: High efficiency but slightly toxic — suitable for industrial systems without direct human contact.
- Propylene glycol: Environmentally friendly and safe — ideal for laboratory and medical cooling equipment.
Make sure to check the antifreeze concentration regularly. Too little antifreeze won’t protect against freezing; too much may reduce heat transfer efficiency.
2. Drain or Insulate the Cooling Circuit
당신의 경우 Coolingstyle water chiller will not be in use for an extended period during winter, it’s best to drain the cooling water completely. Residual water in the pump, pipeline, or heat exchanger may freeze and expand, causing damage to internal parts.
For outdoor installations, 적용하다 thermal insulation materials around pipes, valves, and tanks to reduce heat loss and prevent icing.
3. Maintain Proper Ambient Temperature
When possible, place your chiller in a temperature-controlled environment. Even a small heating source in the equipment room can keep the temperature above the freezing point and protect sensitive components.
을 위한 Coolingstyle micro chillers, the ideal operating ambient temperature is between 5°C and 35°C. If the temperature is too low, consider installing an electric heater or keeping the chiller on standby mode.
4. Regular System Inspection and Cleaning
Routine inspection before and during winter helps ensure stable operation. Check for any signs of leaks, frost, or abnormal noise. Clean the 보다 정확한 열 제거 방법은 압축기에 의존합니다. V 압축기의 제어반 고장률은 24V 압축기보다 높습니다. air filters to maintain efficient heat exchange.
- Inspect the pump and pipeline for tightness
- Ensure sensors and temperature probes are working properly
- Verify antifreeze levels and fluid clarity
- Clean the dust on heat exchangers and fans
~에 쿨링스타일, we recommend performing a complete system check at the beginning of each winter season.
5. Use Intelligent Monitoring for Extra Protection
Modern 냉각 방식 냉각기 come with intelligent temperature control and monitoring systems. These systems automatically detect temperature changes and adjust operating parameters to prevent freezing or overload.
For customized solutions, Coolingstyle also provides OEM/ODM micro chillers with built-in RS485 or Modbus communication for remote monitoring — perfect for semiconductor, 레이저, or precision manufacturing applications.
Coolingstyle’s Expert Tips for Winter Chiller Maintenance
- Do not restart the chiller if the coolant is frozen
- Use a mixture of distilled water and glycol as recommended
- Store idle chillers in dry, frost-free environments
- Regularly power on the unit for 10–20 minutes to circulate fluid
Following these steps will extend the service life of your chiller and maintain its high precision performance, even under harsh winter conditions.
