How is the calcium chloride/water solution typically added to a new refrigeration system?

In refrigeration systems, particularly those that utilize a calcium chloride/water solution, the process of adding this solution is often done through a feeder tank. This method ensures that the proper concentration of the solution is maintained and allows for controlled dosing into the refrigeration system.

Feeder tanks facilitate the mixing of calcium chloride with water before it enters the refrigeration loop, ensuring that operators can monitor and adjust the flow rate and concentration as needed. This approach is practical for maintaining consistent performance and optimizing the efficiency of the refrigeration system.

While other methods such as direct injection or manual mixing might be considered, they do not offer the same level of control and reliability as a feeder tank in maintaining appropriate solution concentrations critical for optimal system operation. The use of a solenoid valve is typically related to controlling liquid flow rather than the specific method of adding the solution itself.
