Chillers

KTI CIWPs are equipped with a special ice bank systems, which allow the water to circulated around a shell-and-tube evaporator or a plate evaporator.

The ice water systems have a four-stage cooling of the water. First, the water is cooled to +38 °C via a cooling tower or evaporative condenser. Subsequently, further cooling via shell-and-tube evaporators to +4 °C is performed before running through the ice bank system for chilling the water below +1 °C.

Up to a production of 345 m³ ice water per day, the plants are mounted in a 20-ft container, up to a production of 440m³ ice water in a 40-ft. container. The condensing unit is placed on the roof of the container, but can also be integrated as required into the container, which results into a very compact plug-and-play solution.

Of course, the systems can also be built with the same quality on frames for installation in buildings. This enables us to offer our customers individual solutions.

As the perfect complement to the ice water systems, KTI offers perfectly insulated water tanks that are either directly installed in the machine container (ICWT ), installed as a unit into a separate container (CCWT) or in a solid steel frame (SFWT).

KTI has developed special Aggregate-Chillers (CAC-w) that meet the extreme demands of the concrete industry to cool aggregates on wet-belts or in flooded silos before feeding the batching plant. KTI realized the key requirement to produce water with a temperature between +1 °C and +4 °C by using falling film chillers, which have been specially developed to effectively cool water even when its contaminated with mud and gravels. The Aggregate-Chillers are extremely resistant to dirt and designed to reduce the cleaning effort to a minimum.

Extremely stable stainless steel evaporators are used in the falling film evaporators, which can also be cleaned during operation. Furthermore, these offer an excellent heat transfer. KTI relies on ammonia as refrigerant, which significantly contributes to an highly efficient operation of the plants.

The plants are available with refrigeration capacities between 750 and 1500 kW and installed in a 40-ft. container.

Features:

KTI Underground Chillers (UC) are specifically designed for use in underground mining where both the evaporator and the condenser can handle heavily contaminated water without any loss in performance.

In particular, the engineers of KTI have considered the special requirements of mining operators during the R&D phase. One basic outcome is that the shape of the Underground Chiller is designed for an easy transport down the mine shaft and underground to the heat-emitting places.

With the Underground Chiller, KTI opens new boundaries in the operation of chillers. The technical features considerably exceed the specifications of any conventional chiller. Heavy-duty reciprocating compressors ensure a stable operation and guarantee constant availability of cooling capacity. In addition, KTI has even achieved 15% in energy savings compared to standard chillers.
