Air-cooled Chiller VS Water-cooled Chiller
Difference:
Air-cooled chiller: condenser is cooled by the environment air (fan, fin, TEC etc.)
Water-cooled chiller: condenser is cooled by water (connected to cooling tower).
Application:
Air-cooled chillers:
-
Small or medium installations.
-
Frequent movement with machines.
-
No enough water or the water is very expensive.
Water-cooled chiller:
-
Medium and large installations.
-
High energy efficiency.
-
Constant performance is required, independently of the ambient temperature.
-
Quiet environment is required.
