An air-cooled screw condensing unit is a type of refrigeration system that uses a screw compressor to compress refrigerant and condenser coils to dissipate heat from the refrigerant. It is called "air-cooled" because the condenser coils are cooled by ambient air rather than water.
The screw compressor draws in low-pressure refrigerant gas and compresses it to a high-pressure gas. The high-pressure gas then flows through the condenser coils where it is cooled by ambient air and condensed into a high-pressure liquid. The liquid refrigerant then flows through the expansion valve and into the evaporator coils where it evaporates and cools the air or product being refrigerated. The low-pressure gas is then drawn back into the compressor to repeat the cycle.
Some of the benefits of using an air-cooled screw condensing unit include:
Lower installation costs compared to water-cooled systems
Less maintenance required since there are no water pumps or cooling towers
Easier installation and flexibility in placement
Lower water consumption and environmental impact
Reduced risk of Legionella growth since there is no standing water in the system
Air-cooled screw condensing units are commonly used in commercial and industrial refrigeration applications such as food storage, beverage production, pharmaceuticals, and cold storage warehouses.
Regular maintenance of an air-cooled screw condensing unit is important to ensure its efficient operation and longevity. Some maintenance tasks include cleaning the condenser coils, checking the refrigerant levels and pressures, inspecting the electrical connections, and lubricating the compressor. It is also important to replace any worn or damaged parts as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the system.
