after 5 min cutting 85% power
temp. of water is already 35 C
room temp 20 C
is this normal
or is the chiller defect ?

[Blackjax]

not normal on mine i can run mine all day and not hit 35 i use automotive antifreeze in my chiller 50/50 mix using distilled water

[Blackjax]

what are you doing that you need that kinda power all the time?

[curious]

cutting laminated wood/plywood 6mm
but i wonder if the chiller is not broke.

[Blackjax]

Might wanna run a industrial chiller or toss a wort chiller inline or make your own wort chiller by twisting copper tubing into length of coil its a simple heat exchange

[cinematic2]

Just check you chiller settings first.

[curious]

checked it twice today.
the black pump for the cooling gas/liquid is very hot
all tubes of copper and th ebig cooling block cold !!!!

water is warm
i get the feeling that there is no R404 or freon or whatever must be in there

if i take a look at a standard fridge ,the cooling block is always hot !
something is wrong here

[cinematic2]

So call nearest fridge service.

[curious]

So call nearest fridge service.

and so i did.
it turned out ,the compressor didnt turn/work
they measured 7,2 Amps ,thats more than the whole machine should use.
conclusion compressor broke.

i asked a new part .and they promised to send it to me.
now we wait how fast it will be delivered.

Would a chiller like this work to cool glycol from 200F (93C) down to 75F (23.8C)? do you know what the GPM or Litres per minute capacity it has? Goal - cool 31 gallons of beer down as quickly as possible. Glycol would be used with a heat exchanger.

[cinematic2]

CW5000 (similiar to 5200) has about 2400-3000 Btu/h
So you may count what you need.

[curious]

its all working now
s&a send new pump and i bought also a new extra chiller
good to know, there are some good reliable chinese producers

[coase]

Good to see you have a new chiller from China.

we are the S&A chiller manufacturer,
Industrial chiller failure Cause

1.Blocked dust gauze, bad thermolysis; Approach: Unpick and wash the dust gauze regularly

2.Poor ventilation for air outlet and inlet; Approach: To ensure a smooth ventilation for air outlet and inlet

3.Voltage is extremely low or astable; Approach: To improve the power supply circuit or use a voltage regulator

4.Improper parameter settings on thermostat; Approach: To reset controlling parameters or restore factory settings

5.Switch the power frequently; Approach: To ensure there is sufficient time for refrigeration (more than 5 minuets)

6.Excessive heat load; Approach: Reduce the heat load or use other model with larger cooling capacity

Hi,curious
We are the manufacturer of the chiller model CW-5200.
Sorry to hear that.
CW-5200 does not satisfy the cooling requirement of your equipment, maybe you should get another chiller with large cooling capacity, could you tell me what is the power of laser.
