Chillers are commonly used in air conditioning units and industrial cooling. In air conditioning systems, chilled water is usually distributed to heat exchangers or coils in air handling units or other types of terminal equipment for cooling in their respective spaces, and then the chilled water is redistributed back to the cooling to be cooled. In industrial applications, chilled water or other liquids are cooled by pumping through process or laboratory equipment. Industrial chillers are used in various industries to control the cooling of products, mechanisms and factory machinery.
Air-cooled chiller
Chillers can generally be divided into water-cooled and air-cooled according to the cooling form. Technically, water-cooled is 300 to 500 kcal/h higher in energy efficiency than air-cooled; in terms of price, water-cooled is much lower than air-cooled; In terms of installation, water cooling needs to be included in the cooling tower before it can be used, and air cooling can be moved without other assistance, but the air-cooled chiller only relies on the fan to dissipate heat, and has certain requirements for the environment: such as ventilation, humidity, and the temperature cannot be higher than 40 °C.
