Case Study
Process chillers for spot welding.
A manufacturer of metal supports requests an upgrade to their existing cooling equipment.
Previous cooling equipment for a Northern based metal manufacturer had fallen short of their expectations. Regular failures and production down time had led them to contacting Evolution Cooling Ltd to provide them a reliable solution during a line upgrade.
The Challenge
Water flow and water quality are very important in spot weld cooling.
Heat generated from spot welding can be highly concentrated in the small tips of the process equipment.
Cooling water ways in welding electrodes traditionally contain small bore diameter pipe that can block if water becomes impure.
Reduced or low flow can amplify failures of welding electrode tips leading to increase production costs and expensive downtime.
The Solution
Evolution Cooling selected from the ZCF range of CF industrial chiller.
Built specifically for industrial processes.
Containing Non-Ferrous stainless steel components and industrial high pressure pumps.
The ZCF range can be ran on Deionised and demineralised water as standard and contains inbuilt filtration.
Key Highlights Of The Solution
- Non Ferrous CF Chiller
- High Pressure pump
- Pipework Installation in stainless steel
- Flow balancing
- Ongoing water condition monitoring
The Impact
Selection of ZCF Range of chiller unit provides:
- Process efficiency: With new chiller units running on Deionised water and commissioned flow rates.
- Reliability: Water quality will ensure that this production line runs optimally for its expected lifespan and investment.
Conclusion
This manufacturer benefited form a turnkey approach.
- Site Assessment: A full assessment of current equipment with fault history allows our technical experts to provide a reliable solution.
- Equipment selection: Ensuring the correct equipment is applied to the production its serving is essential.
- Ongoing support: Our team will continue to support through a service and maintenance package ensuring water quality is maintained.
”We are really pleased with the chiller upgrades that appear a better solution than our previous cooling system.
