What effect does the flow rate of the water pump have on the cooling of the chiller?

When purchasing a chiller, there are many parameters that need to be considered. Most people basically choose a suitable chiller based on their cooling capacity needs. There are also some that need to be integrated into the equipment, and the size of the chiller will be considered. There are also some customers who have high accuracy requirements.

Temperature control accuracy is also one of the important factors to consider when purchasing a chiller. In fact, there is another important parameter - flow. The size of the water pump flow is also one of the important parameters for chiller selection.

So, what impact does the size of the water pump flow have on chiller cooling?

1. When the flow rate of the water pump is too small, the direct impact is that the heat cannot be taken out quickly from the equipment to be cooled, 

causing the temperature of the equipment to be cooled to rise. Moreover, because the cooling water flow rate is not fast enough, the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet becomes larger, thus 

The surface temperature of temperature-controlled equipment varies greatly.

2. When the water pump flow is too large, matching an oversized cooling water circulation pump will inevitably increase the equipment cost of the industrial chiller, and operating costs such as electricity bills will also increase. Excessive cooling water flow and pressure will also cause increased resistance in the water flow pipes. This will cause unnecessary increase in energy consumption, reduce the service life of the cooling water circulation pump, and may also cause many other failures.

Therefore, if the water pump flow rate of the chiller is too large or too small, it will affect the cooling of the chiller. 

When selecting the chiller, in addition to the cooling capacity, accuracy, volume, etc., the flow head also needs to be considered.
