Abstract

A Liquid chilling system cools water, brine, or other secondary coolant for air conditioning or refrigeration. The system may be either factory assembled and wired or shipped in sections for erection in the field. The basic components of a vapour-compression, liquid chilling system include a compressor, a liquid cooler (evaporator), a con-denser, a compressor drive, a liquid refrigerant expansion or flow-control device, and a control center; the system may also include a receiver, an economizer, an expansion turbine, and/or a subcooler. In addition, certain auxiliary components may be used, such a lubricant cooler, lubricant separator, lubricant-return device, purge unit, lubricant pump, a refrigerant transfer unit, refrigerant vents, and/or additional control valves.
