• to learn more about this report

The global screw chillers market size was USD 3052.5 million in 2022 and the market is projected to touch USD 3791.6 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period.

A female helical screw and a male helical screw make up a screw chiller. These two screws revolve in unison because they are mechanically engaged. As the fluid travels from one end of the cylinder to the other, this revolution progressively compresses it. A screw compressor used to compress air, refrigerant, or other fluids is housed in screw chillers. Compared to other chillers including centrifugal, reciprocating, centrifugal, and absorption chillers, it is smaller, quieter, and has less components.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Effectuated Halt in Construction Activities and Disrupted Supply Chain Hampered the Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Global supply chains have been disrupted by the pandemic, which has an impact on the production and delivery of a variety of goods, including screw chillers. Component availability and manufacturing timelines may be impacted by supply chain delays. Lockdowns, a lack of workers, and delays in project completion caused problems for the construction sector, which uses a lot of HVAC systems. This could have had an impact on the placement of screw chillers in newly constructed buildings.

• By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into water-cooled, air-cooled and others.

Water-cooled: A mechanical device called a water-cooled chiller lowers the temperature of water before distributing it to a cooling tower or heat pump. Its main purpose is to let the liquid cool naturally in order to eliminate heat from it. This is accomplished by allowing the surrounding water to absorb its heat, which is subsequently returned to your hot water supply through your radiators or cooling towers.

Air-cooled: An air-cooled chiller functions as a heat exchanger to cool refrigerant prior to its application in order to produce a cooling effect. In the closed circuit, the refrigerant circulates and absorbs heat from different sources. By keeping extra heat out of the system, this procedure helps to keep the temperature of different things at the right levels.

• By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into chemical industry, printing industry, automobile industry and others.

Chemical Industry: Heat is produced throughout a variety of production operations in the chemical industry. In order to provide ideal production conditions, screw chillers are used to precisely and carefully cool chemical reactions and processes. For the safety and quality of the products, chemical processes frequently need for precise temperature control. Reactors, condensers, and other equipment benefit from screw chillers' assistance in keeping their temperatures constant.

Automobile Industry: Screw chillers are used in the automobile sector in manufacturing processes including heat treatment, welding, and metalworking where precise temperature control is essential to the effectiveness and quality of the final product. In testing facilities, screw chillers are used to assess how well automobile air conditioning and refrigeration systems operate. For testing purposes, they aid in simulating diverse environmental conditions.

Printing Industry: During web offset printing operations, the printing industry frequently employs screw chillers to regulate the ink's temperature. Consistent print quality and the avoidance of printing problems are guaranteed by maintaining the right ink temperature.

Others: Heat is produced during the injection molding process in the plastics industry. In order to ensure appropriate solidification of the molded goods and preserve production efficiency, screw chillers are utilized for cooling molds. Screw chillers are used by the pharmaceutical sector to precisely regulate temperature during medication production procedures. Maintaining pharmaceutical items' purity and effectiveness requires regular refrigeration. In the food and beverage business, screw chillers are used to cool operations including chocolate making, pasteurization, and fermentation. They contribute to maintaining the caliber of the product and adhering to food safety regulations. Screw chillers are used in the IT industry to cool server rooms and data centers. For servers and other electronic equipment to operate as efficiently as possible, ideal temperature maintenance is essential.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Capacity, Performance and Adaptability to Variable Loads to Enlargen Applications in Various Sectors and Boost the Market Growth"

Because of their great chilling capacity, screw chillers are appropriate for industrial applications requiring significant heat removal. Their extensive use in a variety of applications is largely due to their reliable performance and capacity to withstand high cooling loads. Variable cooling load applications are a good fit for screw chillers. Screw compressors are perfect for applications where cooling requirements change because of their architecture, which enables effective operation over a range of capacities.

"Wide Range of Application and Low Maintenance Requirements to Multiply the Market Share"

Several sectors, including the chemical, automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and more, use screw chillers. Their broad use is facilitated by their adaptability and capacity to satisfy the cooling requirements of diverse operations. In general, screw chillers require less maintenance than certain other kinds of chillers. Businesses trying to reduce maintenance expenses and downtime will find this advantageous, particularly in industrial environments where activities are constant.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"Noise Level and Water Quality Sensitivity to Deprive the Market Growth"

Screw chillers are known to produce louder noises, particularly when they are first starting up and running. This might be an issue in situations where minimal noise levels are essential, including in homes or places with stringent noise laws. Screw chillers are susceptible to problems with water quality, including pollutants and scale development. Sufficient water treatment is necessary to avoid fouling and preserve the chiller's dependability and performance. Hence, the noise and water quality factors are expected to hinder the screw chillers market growth during the forecast period.
