Omega Falling Film Water Chillers
The Omega Falling Film Chiller is a water cooler based on Pillow Plate technology. With the ice water at temperature (<0.5 °C) from a Falling Film Chiller you can cool large amounts of product in a short time. This (recirculating) water cooler, which cools the water at a constant temperature, is a suitable solution for the continuous cooling of your products.
Because every cooling requirement is different, our Falling Film Chillers are always custom-made. Together with our engineers, we calculate the best solution for you.
What is a Falling Film Chiller?
A Omega Falling Film Chiller are suitable for cooling water to a certain desired temperature. Ice water is used to cool large quantities of your product in a short amount of time, for example to blanch vegetables or to mix with concrete in prevention to dry quickly. Due to the open system it is also suitable for cooling contaminated liquids.
It’s also possible to recirculate the water and let Omega Pillow Plates cool the water down again to the right temperature. With this recirculating Falling Film Chiller your products are continuously cooled to an even temperature.
How does a Falling Film Chiller work?
In the upper container of the appliance, the water will be divided into small holes to the double embossed Pillow Plates, hanging underneath. A thin layer of water falls over the plate and is cooled to the desired temperature. The water can be cooled to 0,5 °C with a Falling Film Chiller.
This cooled water is pumped into a container and distributed to the user(s), such as a plate heat exchanger or process tank.
The used water is collected in a reservoir and pumped back to the top of the Falling Film Chiller. The water is cooled again in the same way.
