Chiller use cases in electroplating
Publishing Unit:Thacon
We have a customer who provides various metal plating services, including chrome plating, nickel plating, copper plating, zinc plating, etc. They have advanced electroplating equipment and a professional technical team to ensure the uniformity, adhesion and durability of the electroplated layer.
However, there are some special processes that require bath temperature requirements. The plating bath used in the electroplating process usually needs to be controlled within a specific temperature range to ensure the quality and consistency of the plating layer. A chiller is needed to reduce the temperature of the electroplating tank by circulating cooling water, thereby stabilizing the electroplating process and improving product quality.
He came to us and wanted us to customize a suitable chiller.We communicated with the customer in detail to understand the cooling temperature and the capacity of the bath liquid, and temporarily selected a 10-horsepower chiller.
But we have considered a very important issue. The plating solution is corrosive. Long-term use will cause corrosion damage to our chiller and affect normal use. Therefore, the conventional chiller is not suitable for this customer.
Finally, we chose a 10-horsepower titanium cannon-type water chiller for him, using a titanium cannon evaporator. The advantage of this evaporator is that it is corrosion-resistant, suitable for cooling corrosive liquids, and is an important part of the chiller. Stainless steel customization,Finally, after 3 days of production time, this special machine was finally handed over to the customer. After a week of use, there were no problems and it perfectly met the customer’s cooling needs.
A month later, this customer customized an identical machine from us.
Chillers are used a lot in the electroplating industry, but because of the particularity of the electroplating industry, the requirements for chillers will be higher. When it comes to testing the professionalism of a factory, Thacon chillers have rich experience in the electroplating industry. You can ask us if you have any questions.
