Chiller - Oil lubrication and cooling

we take a look at the oil lubrication system of a typical chiller, using illustrations and narrative to build your base knowledge Data: LOL! I'm all answering questions on here. Sorry! I just love chiller work. But I hate cooling towers. That's why I always recommend air cooled RTAH's or RTAC's chillers, to avoid cooling tower headaches. I don't see the advantage of water cooled over air, in a critical environment. If city water gets cutoff you're screwed. Maybe you know why some places prefer water cooled? To me it seems like the energy used to pump the condenser water and run the tower fans kills the efficiency. Not to mention this application in a place (like Georgia, USA) that doesn't get cold enough to take advantage of free cooling through plate and frame heat exchangers.

Great content, but a correction, the oil becomes low viscosity as it is heated, at low temperature oils have higher viscosity. For example water has a viscosity of around 1 centipoise, while table oils have viscosity in the dozens or hundreds of centipoises, while Tar has a viscosity in the billions.

Sir Thanks for videos.
(1) Can you explain lubricant system in screw chiller compressors.
(2) Can you explain how water chillers different with brine (minus degrees) chillers. Sir, you should also make a videos on minus degree chillers

reply

Is there any chance that the oil gets mixed with the refrigerant and oil then circulates into the system with the refrigerant and probably, lower the efficiency? Kindly illustrate that point and what will happen then? Also, how to prevent it?
reply

To take out refrigerant from oil sump one copper pipe is connected to the suction of the compressor. Since the suction in compressor occur at low pressure how the oil does not go along with refrigerant to the compressor?
reply

can you please explain the alarm, that will in running time, like comp low pressure alarm, customer alarm, anti freeze alarm etc. please explain each alarm why they will come and how should we respond.
reply

hello thanx for this great and useful video.
may you send me anything about the power for oil pump and vsd Hows control it or if u can talk about it.
thanx alot

reply

Thanks for another great video! Any coming on economizers, flash tanks, etc? Using approach, water side piping/valving/bypass configurations?
reply

Will the lubricant in contact with the refrigerant gas? Is it necessary to have a compatible lubricant type to cope with the refrigerant?
reply

Sir, there are two gauges one for high pressure and other low pressure on chiller. What is this represents? Is this oil pressure
reply

Can you please tell me about Screw chiller's oil injection. Why use oil heater in compressor. And loading and unloading valve?
reply

Can you please explain a reciprocating chiller in detail. That will help many people to pass MRO exam for NYC. Thank.
reply

5: 20, why the oil return from compressor thrust bearing was not returned back to Oil sump for pressurisation?
reply

Awesome explanation, keep it up, please do upload video on PACKAGE system, BOILER, HUMDIFIERS also. Thank you
reply

Sir what is the common problem if the chiller alarm about, thrust bearing temperature high? Thank you
