One year ago,I worked in Production Department,which requires me to deal with Production Output everyday and it was kinda boring for me. From then,I found your channel, studied on HVAC system and make your video as my primary reference regarding Chiller operation.Now I've become a Facility guy in another Company thanks to your wonderful videos. Please keep producing videos like this. Your videos help me to change my life.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Glad to hear we helped you

[@jobinkR]

I am currently working in Dubai and doing condition survey on buildings, till now i haven’t worked with chillers, but only district cooling system, ur videos helped me a lot to get clear pictures

[@999dober]

love you engg mindset. Your videos are like spoonfeeding..so simple..so easy to understand !

[@jcrazeful]

You are the best, you've helped me more than this trade school I just finished. LOL and your videos are straight to the point, short and visual. LOVE THEM! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@anwarmolina3399]

Videos are great visuals are very educational. just started going to school for refrigeration machine operator engineer (NYC) and your videos put images to all the book words Thanks a lot keep'em coming

[@EngineeringMindset]

Glad you enjoyed. There's the old saying a picture is worth a thousand words.

[@mj625]

Your videos are well-done and have helped me learn the basics of refrigeration and chillers. Do you have any plans for a video about air-cooled chillers?

Please make a video about UV-C Lamps on AHU. Thanks for very informative videos! Keep posting.

[@davidwyness7746]

Thanks for the video. For the plugged pipes, how would you identify which tubes are leaking water to the refrigerant, especially if it’s a smaller leak?

[@EngineeringMindset]

You test the tubes and if it can't hold pressure then it has a hole

[@abdulghaffar5432]

Great explanation. Kindly do a video on screw compressor solenoid loader/unloader for capacity control.

[@purepolearm4l]

Deeply enjoyed this.

[@wojtekzop]

You making very good job. Maybe thanks to your videos I will gonna have better job.. :) For studying 5 years as some ingenieur it's too late for me;)

[@EngineeringMindset]

Thanks Damith!

[@ibrahimosman3393]

I loved your presentation very much

[@AbdullahAwamleh]

Your videos are extremely well done. Thank you.

[@Shinefoodshine]

If the spring loaded valve opens to let refrigerant out and into the atmosphere, then do you need to top up refrigerant to replace the ones emitted? And if there an optimum refrigerant load to reduce emissions and reduce the need to top up refrigerant (if even necessary)?

[@Seaequip]

Subscribed! Beautifully and very clearly explained! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Just one question. How are residual oils or lubricants that accompany refrigerants removed or recovered from the shell? 🤔

[@waleedraza8374]

Thanks for such a brilliant presentation.I have Some questions How refrigerant absorb all the heat ? Which thing is in the evaporator that made the refrigerant to suck all the heat from chilled water? As the tube contain the water and refrigerant is all around the pipe how come the absorb heat did not affect again to the pipes?

[@EngineeringMindset]

Hi Waleed, The refrigerant has very low boiling point and when it evaporates it takes some of this heat with it, much like it you boil a pan of water, the water evaporates and will carry the heat away as steam. The only thing that makes the refrigerant "suck away" the heat is the temperature difference and specific heat capacity. Hot always moves to cold.

[@salimkhan007khan7]

Thank u for making these kind of videos .

[@gasmoney9319]

Hi love your videos is this a flooded evap can you do a video explaining this. Also I might be wrong did you not say in this video you had a return and feed temp both at 12c? Thanks

[@christopherbarrett6408]

Awesome educational video. Thank you

[@AllAroundHnadyMan]

Excellent teaching

[@mohamedsharafudeenchanelip4815]

Thanks for your video, I have one doubt how does Liquid Refrigerant move towards the evaporator at a higher level, what's the driving force to move to higher elevation.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Pressure

[@mohamedsharafudeenchanelip4815]

@@EngineeringMindset U mean the pressure from Compressore

[@alejandrogalasso2352]

Great video! You say that chilled water enters the evaporator, but I thought the water in it would come from the terminals in the building, i.e. it would be water carrying heat collected from the ambient. How does that work?

[@jbaker8871]

Yes chilled water enters the return side of evaporator from a terminal and leaves chilled on the supply side of evaporator to a terminal. Heat is transfered through refrigerant to condensing barrel.

[@muratbulut]

Your videos are very good, Thanks a for presentation

[@abdullahalabdulhadi5079]

Thank you for the video. Does refrigerant enter the evaporator as liquid or a mix of liquid and vapor?

[@marinpiskov]

Your video is great. Thank you

[@bisayanghvactechlifetv]

Very useful video,,water entering in the condenser is from the cooling tower,how about water entering to the evaporator?thanks

[@EngineeringMindset]

the ahu's and fcu's. please watch our video on chiller basics

[@christopheradam1969]

Have you done a video about the operation of different types of Evap, Flooded, Spray Flooded, Plate etc?

[@EngineeringMindset]

Flooded and plate yes. We also have the chiller terminology video which is a gold mine of info.

[@samuelmajekodunmi586]

I love your presentation. Well done. If I may ask, what are the likely causes of suction pressure fault in a chiller? Thanks.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Hi Samuel, there could be many reasons. Probably there is a blockage, over/under charged with ref gas, wrong gas, low detla T, broken sensor. It would be best to bring in a service specialist. If you do, make sure you see what they do and ask lots of questions to learn.

[@EngineeringMindset]

We just covered chiller faults in our recent video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKaTfYmMg7OJidk

[@dieseldragon6756]

Many thanks for this truly *cool* video! I never even knew about these types of chillers before the last video I watched, but this showed me that they are basically the same principle as a domestic refrigerator - Admittedly on a more industrial scale appropriate to the application - But which transfers heat between secondary inert coolants to reduce the amount of refrigerant required, and also allows the latter to be confined to the plant room where it's much easier to manage and any leaks/escapes are less likely to pose risk to the occupants of the building. ❄💯👍 I keep considering ideas for a hand-driven homebrew/domestically built freezer (I can't afford one by retail, or the electricity to drive one. That's life for disabled people here alas. ♿🏚🇬🇧) but coolant has always been a sticking point; I can't even handle my own gas properly, let alone common refrigerants! 🔥😳 One thing this has shown me is that I don't necessarily have to run on the one circuit; I can apply the chiller/evaporator principle on a smaller scale to have separate circuits for interior and exterior (And reverse the heat transfer if ever needed) and that makes management and construction easier. I'm considering trying out a dense brine made of table salt and tap-water which I _think_ might have high thermal transfer whilst being freeze resistant for the outside coil, and if I can ever bring myself to take the dive I might give it a go! 🧪❄😁

[@JamesEarlVincentPBacho]

If the expel its heat in the pipe, would it possible that there can be moist in the evap pipe that possibly be mixed in the refrigerant?

[@nburaq]

According to animation in this video evaparator is shown at bottom but in your 3d drawing it was located at top part of chiller and bottom as condenser right?

[@EngineeringMindset]

its going to vary by manufacturer. It's typically found at the bottom through.

[@hvinceac9211]

well done very well done comma I have a question. In a chiller with with refrigerant 123 is it possible that air in the system will also cause a surge.?

[@EngineeringMindset]

HVince AC yes it could lead to surge. if the refrigerant level was low also or if non compressible fluids entered the compressor.

[@hvinceac9211]

The Engineering Mindset thanks for the reply.

[@michaelsalinas8202]

I'm a bit confused you are pointing to evaporator in the diagram at 1:03 located on the bottom looks like the Condenser is moving fluids into the AHU.

[@barrycrawford6368]

Is it safe to cut into an abandoned Chiller to remove the copper tubing with a set of cutting torches? Is there flammable gases inside the chiller? Thank you

[@aldoevan]

Hi, what caused the existing ice flakes from evaporator sight glass ?

[@salvadorbernardino7558]

Can we use mixture of water and glycol?

[@mohammedyaseen1894]

Thanks a for presentation.may I ask you for the types of refrigerant used in these types of chiller units,and their properties, especially boiling point of refrigerant.

[@EngineeringMindset]

R134a is used on many chillers, check the website of manufactures such as Trane and Daikin Applied. You can find the data for the refrigerants by googling "R134a properties"

[@cheekykent]

we use R717 and had a few leaks due to shit maintenance lol

[@seanwythe]

Hey Paul, your videos are so good... have helped me learn so much as an engineer. Are you thinking of going a domestic / drainage public health series?

[@EngineeringMindset]

Hey, glad you enjoy and find them useful. There's really no limit to what we'll cover, currently focusing on HVAC and electrical.

[@TheAkshay09]

5:30 I think you meant 'the chilled water leaves the evaporator at 6 degrees celsius'

[@EngineeringMindset]

Well spotted. Thank you. Yes it should enter at ~12*c and leave at ~6*c depending on the setpoints.

[@mackenziemisner4815]

Are there any compressors and cooling towers used in ice rink to make ice

[@asiakevin]

[@habeebrahman5832]

Great video !

[@MrVipulLal]

Great channel!

[@ajithkhan7314]

at 9:15 you said "chilled water entering into the evaporator.." but correct me if iam wrong, actually the hot water is entering into the evaporator from AHU and gives up the heat to cold refrigerant and get cooled ans leaves it as cold water. So HOT WATER IN and COLD WATER OUT. Right ?

[@EngineeringMindset]

Ajith Khan correct, but the water in that loop is referred to as the chilled water loop regardless of temperature.

[@ajithkhan7314]

Thanks professor.

[@chanleapyean941]

Would u tell me what deference benefits between one, two and three pass?

[@EngineeringMindset]

More paases means more heat exchange as larger surface area. That also makes it shorter in length although larger in diameter. More chance for the heat to be full utilised.

[@muhibali205]

[@Jason-wc3fh]

I can't imagine the pressure reliefs for the refrigerant would just vent to the atmosphere, that would be completely against the law over here in North America. At the very least, it would have to vent into some sort of a sealed tank/cylinder.
