The Cabinplant water chiller is of the Baudelot (falling film) type. Water flows uniformly from a common overhead distribution trough over both sides of the vertical stainless steel plates. The water flows in a thin film over the computer-designed outer surface of the plates to obtain the highest possible outside film coefficient.
Inside the plates, refrigerant boils, following a computer-designed path for high inside film coefficient and low pressure drop. The stainless steel collection tank is equipped with a float valve for make-up. The make-up water is led to the overhead distribution trough. In addition, the tank is equipped with a number of pumps for pumping chilled water to the consumption location. The unit is designed to be fully enclosed during operation; opening is required only for cleaning purposes.
