What is a water-cooled chiller system?

 A water-cooled chiller system is a type of air conditioning system that removes heat from a building or industrial process and transfers it to a separate water-based system, which then disperses the heat into the atmosphere.

The process is accomplished by circulating a refrigerant fluid through a series of coils and using a water-cooled condenser to reject the heat absorbed by the refrigerant. The water used in the system is typically cooled by an external cooling tower or by a direct connection to a water source such as a lake or river.



Water-cooled chillers are often used in large commercial and industrial applications where the cooling load is high and there is access to a large water source. They are also popular in areas with hot climates where cooling tower water is used to dissipate heat.

Compared to air-cooled chillers, water-cooled systems are typically more energy efficient and have a smaller footprint, but require a dedicated water source and a larger initial investment.
