I. مكونات النظام

ويتكون هذا النظام بشكل رئيسي من مبرد جليكول, وحدة التبريد, مبادل حراري, مضخة و خطوط الأنابيب.

ثانيا. عملية التبريد

• 1. أولا، ¹تعمل وحدة تبريد مصنع الجعة على تبريد سائل تبريد الجليكول إلى درجة الحرارة المنخفضة المطلوبة. بشكل عام، تستخدم وحدة التبريد دورة تبريد ضغط لامتصاص الحرارة وتقليل درجة الحرارة عن طريق ضغط مادة التبريد وتوسيعها.

• 2. يتم نقل سائل تبريد الجليكول ذو درجة الحرارة المنخفضة إلى المبادل الحراري تحت تأثير المضخة.

• 3. The heat exchanger is a key component that enables heat exchange between the glycol coolant and beer. Beer flows in the pipeline of the heat exchanger, while the glycol coolant flows in another set of pipelines. Heat is transferred between them through heat conduction.

• 4. Due to the low temperature of the glycol coolant, the heat in beer is transferred to the glycol, thus rapidly reducing the temperature of beer.

• 5. After heat exchange, the temperature of the glycol coolant rises. It will return to the refrigeration unit again, be re-cooled, and then be recycled.

Through this continuous circulation process, the Glycol Beer Chilling system can continuously cool beer to the required temperature to ensure that beer maintains good quality and taste during production, storage and transportation.

In the world of beer, behind every sip of refreshing and mellow taste lies an unsung hero who works silently – the beer chiller. Although it is not as directly presented to consumers as beer itself, it plays a crucial role in the production, storage, and supply of beer.

1.Working Principle of Beer Chiller

The core working principle of a beer chiller is based on the refrigeration cycle and heat exchange principle in thermodynamics. It mainly consists of key components such as a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. First, the compressor compresses the refrigerant gas, increasing its temperature and pressure. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas then enters the condenser, where it exchanges heat with the outside air or water to dissipate heat, and the refrigerant gas condenses into a liquid. After the liquid refrigerant is depressurized by the expansion valve, it enters the evaporator. In the evaporator, the refrigerant evaporates rapidly and absorbs a large amount of heat, and this heat comes precisely from the beer that needs to be cooled. In this way, the heat in the beer is transferred to the refrigerant, thus realizing the cooling of beer.

لتبريد البيرة بشكل أكثر كفاءة، عادة ما يتم استخدام سائل التبريد مثل جلايكول الإيثيلين كوسيط وسيط. يتدفق جلايكول الإيثيلين في نظام الدورة الدموية للمبرد. يتم تبريده أولاً في المبخر ثم يتم نقله إلى المبادل الحراري عند ملامسته للبيرة. تتدفق البيرة في أنبوب المبادل الحراري وتتبادل الحرارة مع جلايكول الإيثيلين، وبالتالي تقلل درجة الحرارة بسرعة. لا يمكن لطريقة التبريد غير المباشرة هذه التحكم بدقة في درجة حرارة تبريد البيرة فحسب، بل يمكنها أيضًا تجنب مشكلة التلوث التي قد تكون ناجمة عن الاتصال المباشر بين المبرد والبيرة.

Installation Considerations for Aquarium Chiller

• موقع

1. Space Requirements: Ensure that you have enough space around the aquarium to install the chiller. It should be placed in a location where it has proper ventilation and is not cramped. A chiller needs to dissipate heat, so it should not be placed in an enclosed area with limited air flow.
2. Proximity to the Tank: The chiller should be located as close as possible to the aquarium to minimize the length of the tubing required for water circulation. Longer tubing can lead to increased pressure drops and potentially affect the chiller’s efficiency. However, make sure there is enough clearance around the chiller for maintenance and access.
3. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat Sources: Do not install the chiller in a place where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or near heat sources such as radiators, heaters, or appliances that generate a lot of heat. This can cause the chiller to work harder than necessary to cool the water and may even lead to overheating of the chiller itself.

• Plumbing and Tubing

1. حجم الأنبوب الصحيح: استخدم حجم الأنبوب الموصى به من قبل الشركة المصنعة للمبرد. يمكن أن يؤثر قطر الأنبوب غير الصحيح على معدل تدفق المياه وضغطها، مما قد يؤثر بدوره على أداء المبرد. تأكد من أن الأنابيب ذات نوعية جيدة وخالية من أي عيوب أو مكامن الخلل.
2. التوصيلات الآمنة: يجب إجراء جميع توصيلات الأنابيب بشكل آمن لمنع التسربات. استخدم التركيبات والمشابك المناسبة لضمان إحكام الغلق. لا يمكن أن تتسبب التسريبات في إهدار المياه فحسب، بل قد تؤدي أيضًا إلى حدوث فوضى وربما تؤدي إلى تلف الأرضيات أو الأثاث المحيط. تحقق من عدم وجود تسربات بعد التثبيت عن طريق تشغيل المبرد لفترة قصيرة ومراقبة التوصيلات.
3. Water Flow Direction: Follow the correct water flow direction as indicated in the chiller’s installation manual. Incorrect flow direction can lead to inefficient cooling or even damage the chiller’s internal components. Some chillers may have specific requirements for the inlet and outlet of water, so make sure to connect them correctly.

• Electrical

1. Voltage and Amperage Requirements: Check the electrical requirements of the chiller and make sure that the power supply in your area can meet those requirements. Using the wrong voltage or insufficient amperage can cause the chiller to malfunction or not operate properly. It may also damage the electrical components of the chiller and pose a safety hazard.
2. Grounding: Ensure that the chiller is properly grounded to prevent electrical shocks. Most electrical appliances come with a grounding wire or a grounding plug. Make sure to connect it to a properly grounded electrical outlet. If in doubt, consult an electrician to check the grounding of your electrical system.
3. Power Cord Length and Placement: The power cord should be long enough to reach the electrical outlet without being stretched or strained. Avoid running the power cord across high-traffic areas or in a way that it can be easily damaged. If possible, use a cord cover or conduit to protect the power cord and make it look more organized.

• Initial Startup and Testing

1. Read the Manual: Before starting the chiller for the first time, carefully read the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the initial startup procedure. This may include steps such as filling the chiller with water (if required), priming the pump, and setting the initial temperature settings.
2. Monitor Temperature: After starting the chiller, closely monitor the water temperature in the aquarium. Check if the chiller is able to reach and maintain the desired temperature within a reasonable time. If the temperature does not seem to be changing as expected or if there are any unusual fluctuations, turn off the chiller and check for any installation errors or problems.
3. Check for Noise and Vibrations: Listen for any abnormal noise or vibrations coming from the chiller during operation. Excessive noise or vibrations may indicate a problem with the installation, such as improper leveling or a loose component. If you notice any issues, turn off the chiller and investigate further to ensure proper operation and longevity of the device.
