Standard and Reverse Flow Water Chillers

Standard Flow Chillers:

• Advantage standard flow chillers are intended to be used on closed loop processes, such as molds, rolls, dies, coils, etc.
• Water returning to the chiller is dependent on flow generated initially by the chiller process pump.
• If the loop is open to the atmosphere at any point, such as an extrusion trough, overflow will always result.

Reverse Flow Chillers:

• Advantage reverse flow chillers are designed specifically for open circuit processes.
• Notice that the flow circuit remains basically the same but the process acts as the chiller’s reservoir and gravity returns water to the pump suction.
• System water make-up and level control is accomplished externally at the process since the chiller contains no reservoir.
• A reverse flow chiller is identified by an “R” in the model number. For example: MG-10A-R
• Turn on and off individual units.
