    Water Cooler Day 4-3

    Water coolers are used to provide chilled drinking water by reducing the water's temperature using a vapor compression refrigeration system. There are two main types: storage type coolers which chill water in a storage tank, and instantaneous type coolers which chill water directly through a heat exchanger coil system without using a storage tank. Both types work by compressing refrigerant which is then condensed, expanded, and evaporated to extract heat from the water and lower its temperature. The main difference is that storage type coolers chill water in a tank while instantaneous type coolers chill water directly through a coiled heat exchanger system without using a storage tank.

    Water Coolers

    What is water cooler?


    Drinking water is the most essential requirement for every human being. If this water is available in a chilled
    form, it will be very nice to drink during summer. Water coolers are used to reduce the temperature of water
    irrespective of the ambient temperature. The water coolers also provide water at a constant temperature. They
    can produce cold water at about 7 C to 13 C.

    It works with the help of a thermostatic switch which is set within the particular range. All coolers consists of
    basic parts that are the same as that of a refrigeration system such as compressor, condenser (usually air
    cooled), expansion device (thermostatic expansion valve or capillary tube), provisions are provided for water
    inlet and outlet.

    Water Cooler is generally used in schools, college, hospitals, factories, offices, stores etc. Basically, there are two
    types of Water Cooler as follows:

    1. Storage type water cooler.


    2. Instantaneous type water cooler.
    Working of Water cooler
    Storage type cooler

    1. Figure shows simple water cooler structure diagram, basic cycle is vapor compression
    cycle consisting of compressor, condenser, fan with motor, expansion device, filter or
    strainer, thermostatic switch and evaporator coil as shown above figure.
    2. Temperature is control by thermostatic switch as per our desired temperature.
    3. Compressor compresses the Refrigerant R12 vapor to high temperature high
    pressure vapor is then condensed in condenser by fan motor unit. High pressure high
    temperature vapor converted into High pressure high temperature liquid in condenser.

    4. Liquid refrigerant passes through strainer or filter which removes moisture and
    impurities if any.

    5. The liquid refrigerant is throttled through expansion device (generally capillary


    tube). In throttling pressure and temperature of liquid drops down. This low-pressure
    low temperature refrigerant then extracts heat of water from the evaporator tank. By
    taking heat from water refrigerant evaporates and this vapour refrigerant sucked by
    compressor and process continues.
    Instantaneous type water cooler

    1.The only difference in instantaneous and storage type is in construction of evaporate as


    shown below. The storage type cooler has evaporated coils solders on the wall of storage
    tank. The tank is either of stainless steel or galvanized steel and water level is maintained
    by float valve.
    2. The Evaporator in instantaneous type consist of two separate coils made of
    either copper or stainless steel. Copper pipe carries R12 while stainless steel pipe
    carries water. The two pipe or coils are bound together by soldering.

    3. Thermostatic filler bulb is clamped on the water coil just at outlet end in case
    of instantaneous type, while in storage type it is emerged in the water in the tank.
    Difference between Storage and
    instantaneous type water cooler
    01.Water coil is wrapped around evaporator 01.Evaporator coil is wrapped around the
    Coil storage tank.
    02.No float valve is required. 02.Float valve is required in storage tank.

    03.Feeler bulb of thermostat is clamped on 03.Feeler bulb of thermostat is kept immersed

    04.Wastage of cold water is more, hence heat 04.Wastage of cold water is less, hence no
    exchangers are provided. heat exchanger is provided.
