In the application of laser equipment, laser chillers are key components to ensure the stable operation of laser devices. By providing precise and stable temperature control, they ensure the efficient, safe, and long-lasting operation of laser equipment. With the continuous development of technology, both split and integrated laser chillers have occupied a place in the market due to their respective characteristics and advantages. This article will discuss the differences between these two types of chillers and the differences in cooling circulation pump selection for them.
Differences Between Split and Integrated Laser Chillers
Split and integrated laser chillers differ in terms of structure, installation, and application scenarios. When choosing a laser chiller, it is essential to select the appropriate type based on actual needs and application scenarios to ensure the normal operation and stability of the chiller.
1. Structure and Design
Split Laser Chiller: Its design feature is that the indoor unit and outdoor unit are installed separately and connected through pipelines and wiring. The indoor unit mainly includes the evaporator, water tank, water pump, and other components, while the outdoor unit contains core refrigeration components such as the compressor and condenser.
Integrated Laser Chiller: All components, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, water tank, and water pump, are integrated into one cabinet, making the structure compact and easy to install and move.
2. Installation and Maintenance
Split Laser Chiller: Since the indoor and outdoor units are installed separately, it requires a larger installation space, and the installation process is relatively complex, requiring professional personnel. In terms of maintenance, both the indoor and outdoor units need to be maintained separately.
Integrated Laser Chiller: The installation process is simple; just place the whole unit in the designated position and connect the power and water sources. Maintenance is also relatively convenient because all components are concentrated in one cabinet, making inspection and repair easier.
3. Application Scenarios
Split Laser Chiller: Suitable for large industrial facilities, high heat-generating environments, places with strict noise control, and areas with high ambient temperatures. Its design advantages in heat management and noise control enable it to meet more complex and high-demand cooling needs.
Integrated Laser Chiller: Suitable for small working environments, places requiring high mobility and quick deployment, and small to medium-sized laser equipment. Its compact and easy-to-install and maintain characteristics make it an ideal choice for small and flexible application scenarios.
Differences in Water Pump Selection for Split and Integrated Laser Chillers
Regardless of whether it is a split or integrated laser chiller, cooling circulation pump plays a crucial role. It is responsible for driving the operation of the water circulation system, ensuring that the cooling water can efficiently and stably provide a cooling effect for the laser equipment. The different designs of split and integrated laser chillers result in different demands and considerations for pump selection.
1. Split Laser Chiller
Flow and Head Requirements: The flow needs to consider the distance between the indoor and outdoor units, pipe length, pipe diameter, and hydraulic loss of the system. Since split chillers usually need to deliver coolant to more distant equipment, the pump head needs to be higher to overcome pipe resistance and height differences.
Power and Efficiency Requirements: Power is determined based on the required drive power of the pump, and it is necessary to choose pumps with as high efficiency as possible to improve energy utilization and reduce energy costs.
Installation Requirements: Since the indoor and outdoor units of the split chiller are relatively independent, the pump can be installed near the chiller or separately. The installation location of the pump should be chosen based on the actual situation.
Selection Considerations: Consider the connection method and material of the pipes between the indoor and outdoor units to ensure compatibility between the pump and the pipes. Additionally, consider the ease of maintenance and repair of the pump.
2. Integrated Laser Chiller
Flow and Head Requirements: The flow is determined based on the internal heat exchange efficiency and cooling requirements of the chiller. The length and complexity of the pipes are lower. The head is relatively low because the cooling water circulates inside the chiller and does not need to be lifted to a high position.
Power and Efficiency Requirements: Due to the compact structure, more attention is paid to the energy-saving and high efficiency of the pump to ensure the overall performance of the chiller.

Installation Requirements: Since all components are integrated into one cabinet, the pump needs to be small in size and highly integrated to achieve efficient cooling in limited space.
Selection Considerations: Consider the compatibility and matching of the pump with other internal components of the chiller to ensure the overall stability and reliability of the chiller.
