Sizing A Chiller

[agupta]

I am trying to size a chiller to cool a chemical. I would really appreciate help with a formula to do that.

I know the maximum flow rate, the maximum temp. gradient, and the properties of the chemical like viscosity etc.

Thanks

If you know flow and temperature delta, and you know specific heat of the fluid, calculate your heat load kW/Hr (or BTU/Hr) and size the chiller unit from manufacturer's rating.

Look at: KoolantKoolers.com/quotes they have a nice form to get you thinking about the info they feel is important.

If the chilled product has a mixer, add the mixer energy (kW) and any heat gained from the surroundings to the neat heat load estimated only from product enthalpies.
