Is the Temperature Control of the Laser Cutting Machine Chiller Unstable?

The temperature difference between day and night is significant in autumn. As a key configuration for the stable operation of laser equipment, the laser cutting machine chiller’s temperature control stability is directly related to the operating efficiency and accuracy of the laser equipment. The following article will analyze the possible reasons for the temperature fluctuation of the chiller and propose effective solutions.

1. The Power of the Laser Cutting Machine Chiller is Insufficient

When the heat load of the laser equipment exceeds the capacity of the chiller, the chiller will not be able to maintain the required temperature, resulting in temperature fluctuations.

Solutions

Choose a laser chiller with appropriate power: When purchasing a chiller, it should be matched according to the power and cooling needs of the laser equipment to ensure that the power and cooling capacity of the chiller can meet the needs of the equipment.

2. Problems with the Internal Setting System of the Chiller

If the set temperature is too low, the cooling capacity of the laser cutting machine chiller may not meet the requirements, resulting in unstable temperature.
The cooling water is not added to the specified position, the refrigerant is insufficient, the operating efficiency of the compressor is reduced, etc., resulting in unstable temperature.

Solutions

Adjust the set temperature: Refer to the instruction manual of the laser cutting machine chiller and adjust the set temperature to an appropriate range based on the cooling capacity of the chiller and environmental conditions.
Check the cooling water amount: Check whether the water added to the chiller is sufficient. It is recommended to add water to the highest position in the green area of ​​the water level gauge.
Replenish refrigerant: If there is insufficient refrigerant, contact after-sales service technicians to find the leak, repair welding and refill the refrigerant.
Compressor maintenance: Decreased capacitance capacity or abnormality of the compressor can also cause cooling abnormalities, requiring the compressor to be repaired or replaced.

3. The Ambient Temperature is Too High/the Voltage is Unstable

The ambient temperature is too high: The heat dissipation performance of the chiller will be affected, resulting in unstable temperature.
Voltage instability: Voltage fluctuations in the power grid during peak hours of electricity consumption will also affect the normal operation of the laser cutting machine chiller, resulting in unstable temperature.

Solutions

Adjust the ambient temperature: It is recommended that the chiller be placed at a room temperature below 40°C and run in a ventilated environment. The optimal operating ambient temperature is 20°C-30°C.
Stable voltage supply: Use stable voltage, such as 220V for single-phase power supply and 380V for three-phase power supply, to ensure the normal operation of the chiller.

4. Lack of Regular Maintenance

Long-term lack of maintenance will lead to a decrease in the heat dissipation performance of the laser cutting machine chiller, which will affect its cooling capacity and lead to unstable temperatures.

Solutions

Regular cleaning: Regularly clean the condenser heat sink, chiller dust filter, fan blades and other components to ensure smooth air circulation and improve heat dissipation efficiency.
Regular pipe cleaning and water change: Regularly clean the water circulation system to remove scale, corrosion products and other impurities, and regularly replace purified water/distilled water to reduce scale formation.
