Water Chiller

A water chiller is a device used to cool water or another fluid, which is then circulated to absorb and remove heat from a process or system. Water chillers are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications to maintain specific temperature conditions in cooling systems, HVAC systems, refrigeration, and various industrial processes.used in the aviation industry or to cool air supplied through air compressors in industrial processes.

Types of Water Chillers

Air-Cooled Chillers dissipate heat to the surrounding air using a fan. The refrigerant in the system absorbs heat from the water and releases it to the ambient air through condenser coils.
Advantages

Easier to install and maintain because they don’t require a cooling tower or water source.

Smaller footprint and more flexible in placement.

Ideal for environments where space is limited.

Applications Commercial buildings, small to medium-sized industrial applications, and areas where a water source is not available.
Water-Cooled Chillers use a cooling tower or a separate water loop to dissipate heat. In these systems, water circulates through the condenser, absorbs heat, and is then cooled by the cooling tower or other external water sources.
Advantages

More energy-efficient compared to air-cooled chillers, especially in large systems.

Typically provide better performance in warmer climates.

Can handle higher cooling loads with less energy consumption.

Applications Large-scale industrial systems, commercial buildings, and places where a constant water supply is available for heat dissipation.
