Hyperchill BioEnergy Water Chiller for Biogas and Landfill Gas Cooling Applications

Biogas is primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide with smaller amounts of hydrogen sulphide and ammonia. Trace amounts of other gases like hydrogen, nitrogen or carbon monoxide are also present in the biogas. Usually the mixed gas is saturated with water-vapour and may contain dirt particles. For biogas as a fuel, most of the impurities have to be removed, as they can cause contamination, deposits and damage to equipment. In particular, biogas needs to be dried by cooling it to temperatures close to 5°C (41°F), using water-cooled heat exchangers fed by water chillers. Hyperchill Bioenergy is a key component in this biogas treatment process.

Extremely compact and easy to use, Hyperchill Bioenergy ensures an accurate control of the water temperature. It has been specifically designed for Biogas applications and provides safe and reliable operation in the harshest of environments, typically found in anaerobic digesters and landfill biogas production areas.

Features:
• Special protective treatment of condensers and copper piping

• Pump and tank installed inside the chiller

• Large built-in water tank that provides a large thermal mass / storage capacity thus reducing the number of refrigerant compressor stop/starts and short cycling and thereby increasing the compressor and chiller lifetime

• Designed to provide cooling water where low temperature water is required as standard

• Use of compliant scroll compressors designed specifically for high efficiency and long life in industrial applications

• Low ambient speed-control on fan-motor ensures constant performances at different temperatures, long lifetime of the fans and a reduction in absorbed power when ambient temperature is low

• Maximum working ambient temperature up to 48°C (118°F) for ICEP models, up to 45°C (113°F) for ICE models

Benefits:
• Compact and easy to install solution

• Reliable operation in the most aggressive of ambient atmospheres at biogas plants and landfill sites

• High working limits and low running costs
