Chiller cooling speed

[enseng]

Hi, my chiller is taking one hr plus to cool down from 27.5 deg C to 26.5 deg C...is it normal? currently using resun 450 for my 3ft tank...

Does the pump flow rate affecting the cooling speed? what is the recommended speed?

It depends more on your ambient temperature. On warmer days my chiller does take longer to chill the water. The chiller manual should indicate the recommended flowrate.

It's about there... I asked ard couple of months back, can check the posts.

Normally a faster flow rate results in faster chilling time. Follow the recommended flow rate.

shud be fine. mine takes around 45-50 mins in air con room.

How long then it will kick in again? Normally it should last 1 hr plus too for the next kick in. If it kick in too fast then you need to check which equipment generate a lot of heat especially MH.

yup...i think it shd last for abt 1 hr plus to 2hr for the next kick in...

Kick in frequency will depend a lot on the heat generated from pumps, lighting & ambient temperature. Every setup will have their own unique heat signature.
