Why is the discharge pressure excessive in my CIAT Chiller?
- KKathleen MillerAug 12, 2025
Excessive discharge pressure in your CIAT Chiller can be caused by several factors. These include air in the hot water circuit, insufficient hot water flow rate, cooling water flow rate being sufficient but the water temperature being too high, the tower or drycooler operating incorrectly, a fouled or scaled condenser, or too much refrigerant. To resolve this, you can try the following: * Drain the hot water circuit. * Check the opening of the hot water circuit valves. * Check the correct operation of the regulator and setpoint adjustment. * Check the operation of the tower or drycooler. * Clean the condenser tubes. * Check and adjust the refrigerant load.
