PCW is a compact, skid-mounted system that circulates process water at a consistent temperature and pressure to the application’s point of use and back, allowing for more efficient and stable use of water-cooled machines, equipment, and instruments. Many process tools, particularly in the semiconductor and solar industries, generate heat during their use. This heat must be removed from the process on a continuous basis during tool operation.

Xuan-Tong BD CO., LTD., offers custom design and engineering of state-of-the-art turnkey industrial process system.

Process Cooling Water System consist of several key components that work together to provide precise temperature control and cooling for industrial processes. Here are the main components typically found in PCW system:

Chiller: The chiller is the heart of the PCW system and is responsible for cooling the water or coolant used in the process. Chillers can be water-cooled or air-cooled, as mentioned earlier. They utilize a refrigeration cycle to extract heat from the process water and lower its temperature to the desired level. Chillers can vary in size and capacity, depending on the cooling requirements of the application.

Cooling Tower: Cooling towers are an integral part of PCW system, particularly in water-cooled configurations. They provide a means for heat dissipation by utilizing the principle of evaporative cooling. The tower receives hot water from the chiller and allows it to come into contact with ambient air.

Pumps: Pumps are used to circulate the chilled water or coolant through the PCW system. They provide the necessary pressure and flow rate to ensure efficient heat transfer and consistent cooling. Pumps can be centrifugal or positive displacement, and their capacity is determined based on the system’s requirements, including the chiller size, pipe network, and heat exchangers.

Heat Exchangers: Heat exchangers facilitate the transfer of heat between the chilled water or coolant and the process being cooled. Heat exchangers can be of different types, including shell and tube, plate, or finned-tube designs, depending on the specific application and thermal requirements.

Control System: The control system is responsible for monitoring and regulating the PCW system’s operation. It includes sensors, temperature controllers, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that ensure precise temperature control, system stability, and protection.

Distribution System: The distribution system comprises pipes, valves, and fittings that transport the chilled water or coolant throughout the facility. It connects the chiller, cooling towers, heat exchangers, and process equipment. The distribution system must be designed to ensure proper flow rates, pressure, and temperature control, minimizing heat loss or gain and optimizing the overall system performance.
