Coaxial Liquid Chiller
It is said that vertical hydroponic farming is the future of agriculture. And correct reservoir temperatures can keep roots healthy. Indoor, propriate water temperature growing operations produce food without soil or sunlight
When the reservoir in a hydroponic system has ideal solution temperature, the plants' roots are the first to notice. Cool solution temperature means more dissolved oxygen, which is great for creating healthy roots and, in turn, a bountiful harvest. Vertical farming is getting popular resently.
Chillers are vital to successful hydroponic grows because they keep the nutrient solution in the ideal temperature range. The compact Coaxial Liquid Chillers from the RIGID company make it easy to maintain the perfect temperature in your hydroponic reservoir, which will help ensure that you bring in big, healthy harvests!
RIGID Compact Liquid Chiller - Set the perfect solution temperature!
Whether you grow vegetables or flowers, Rigid compact chillers are great water cooler for your hydroponic system. They adopt miniature variable speeds compressor, which allows us to set the perfect water temperature you expected.
Chillers are vital to successful hydroponic micro farming grows because they keep the nutrient solution in the ideal temperature range. RIGID Compact Chillers make it easy to maintain the perfect temperature in your hydroponic reservoir, which will help ensure that you bring in big, healthy harvests!
RIGID Coaxial Liquid Chiller - The best water chiller for micro farms!
Specifications:
- 5 kgs/11lbs
- Capacity: 100~550W
- Size: 330x200x150mm
- 12V/24V/48V mini compressor to enable peak performance
- Miniature dc compressor provides reliable small refrigeration solution
The Coaxial LiquidCchiller is a circulatory cooling subsystem. It consists of micro dc compressor (12V/24V/48V) with R134A coolant, smallest condenser and radiator, copper coil evaporator (heat exchanger), filter drier, driver board and other refrigeration parts.
The coaxial liquid chiller is a miniature cooling system specially applies for a microclimate cooling, and provides extraordinary cooling capacity for vertical micro farms in a confined space.
The benefits of coaxial chiller include ultra-small radiator and high heat flux. It does not only facilitate installation but also assures micro farming manufacturers to use their own computer software for monitoring product performance. The manufacturers only need to connect the chiller module's drive board to their computer software.
Coaxial Liquid Chiller - Application Examples
The test rig is made of:
- 1 x Coaxial Chiller + 1 x Rigid Driver Board
- 1 x power supply (24 VDC)
- 1 x water pump (inside the bucket)
- 1 x water temperature sensor (inside the bucket)
- 1 x bucket (the capacity is 5 gallons but it is filled with 12 liters of water)
- 1 x Raspberri Pi control/acquisition board (In order to easily have access to the test data and configure the parameter for the Coaxial chiller test)
The test condition are:
- Room temperature : 30-32°C
- Water temperature at the beginning: >32°C
- Water volume : 12 liters ( in a 5 gallons bucket)
- Water pump flow: around 10L/min
- Compressor speed: 2000rpm, 3500 rpm
- Target Cooling Temperature : 10°C
- Compressor speed: 2000rmp, 3500rmp
The test result:
* The maximum time for cooling the water from 30°C to 20°C is:
- 55 min @2000 rpm (compressor speed)
- 45 min @ 3500 rpm (compressor speed)
* The maximum time for cooling the water from 20°C to 10°C is:
- 116 min @2000 rpm (compressor speed)
- 75 min @ 3500 rpm (compressor speed)
Optimization
With the new Pro design, the cooling capacity and efficiency are nearly 2 times, and cooling time is just only 1/2 of the standard coaxial chiller.
The test result:
* The maximum time for cooling the water from 30°C to 20°C is:
- 30 min @2000 rpm (compressor speed)
- 15 min @ 3500 rpm (compressor speed)
* The maximum time for cooling the water from 20°C to 10°C is:
- 60 min @2000 rpm (compressor speed)
- 35 min @ 3500 rpm (compressor speed)
