Efficient cooling is crucial for lasers, as a significant portion of electrical energy is converted into heat during operation. To address this challenge, Coolingstyle developed the CS-ARC-Q580A110 Miniature Chiller—a compact, lightweight, and highly precise cooling solution designed for a wide range of applications. Here’s a detailed breakdown of why this chiller stands out.
1. Choosing the Right Compressor
At the heart of the CS-MRC-Q580 lies a micro DC compressor with variable frequency. Despite its small size—just 90mm in height and under 1kg in weight—it delivers a remarkable cooling capacity of over 500W.
Key Features:
- Flexible Power Options: The compressor supports DC 24V with a voltage range of 20V–30V. It can run on Li-ion batteries or convert AC power (110V/220V) to DC 24V through an integrated power switch.
- Reduced Noise & Vibration: Two internal compression cylinders minimize vibration, even at high rotation speeds.
- Dynamic Cooling: The compressor’s rotational speed (2000–6000 RPM) adjusts automatically to match the heat load, ensuring efficient operation.
2. Gas and Liquid Cycles in the Chiller
The CS-MRC-Q580’s design efficiently manages both the gas and liquid cycles for optimal cooling.
Liquid Cycle:
- A brushless DC pump delivers a flow rate of 2–5 L/min.
- A water tank equipped with a level sensor monitors liquid levels.
- The liquid flows from the tank through the evaporator and heat exchanger, then circulates to the heat load (e.g., a laser).
Additional Features:
- Low-Temperature Adaptation: A heater in the tank adjusts the liquid temperature for low ambient conditions.
- Flow Monitoring: A flow rate sensor detects changes, helping identify potential issues like dirty liquids.
3. Precision Temperature Control
The chiller uses a PID control algorithm for precise temperature regulation, achieving a stability of ±0.1°C.
How It Works:
- A 16-bit digital signal acquisition chip collects temperature signals.
- The PID controller adjusts the compressor speed to match the heat load.
- For low heat loads, a PWM-controlled heater compensates for excess cooling, maintaining the liquid temperature within a 0.1°C range.
4. Advanced Features of the CS-MRC-Q580
a) Real-Time Flow Rate Monitoring
- The built-in flow rate sensor displays the liquid flow rate on the screen.
- Alerts users to potential issues such as pump malfunctions or dirty liquid.
- Helps maintain optimal system performance by encouraging timely liquid replacement.
b) RS485 Communication Functionality
- Optional RS485 support allows seamless integration with external systems.
- Enables remote monitoring and control of parameters like compressor speed, liquid temperature, and flow rate.
- Facilitates system shutdown or temperature adjustments via RS485 commands.
c) User-Friendly Display
- The chiller features a clear display for real-time monitoring of system parameters, ensuring ease of operation and maintenance.
