Chillers are the refrigeration systems that cool the environment by processing water or dehumidified air.

1. Air Cooled Chillers vs Water Cooled Chillers

2. Chillers are the refrigeration systems that cool the environment by processing
water or dehumidified air. Vapour compression and vapour absorption are
the two cycles used by the chiller for cooling. Among the two, vapour
compression cycle is more popular than the other. Air cooled chillers, water
cooled chillers and evaporative condensed chillers are the three basic types of
chillers. There are best chiller repairing services available all around the
world. Let us see how air cooled chillers are different from water cooled
chillers.

3. ● Condenser Differences: The basic difference between air and water
cooled chillers is the method used to condense the refrigerant that comes
out of the compressor. Air cooled condenser uses the air in the
surroundings as the condensing medium and makes use of a fan to
remove the air from the coil. Whereas the water cooled condenser uses
water as the condensing medium and makes use of a pump to circulate
the water in and out into the cooling tower, which will emit heat into the
atmosphere.

4. ● Cost Differences: Air cooled chillers are costlier than water cooled
chillers in terms of the installation and set up. Because it has installation
costs for air ducts, fans etc. And they require more power sources to run
the fan which will increase electricity bills. Yet they have lower
maintenance costs since they do not require cooling towers, condenser
water pumps and other water chemical treatments. Even though water
cooled chillers cost less for setting up, they have high operational costs of
cooling towers, water quality testing and treatments on water.

5. ● Efficiency Comparisons: Air cooled chiller’s efficiency depends on the
temperature of the air used for condensing. If the circulating air is high in
temperature, it reduces the cooling efficiency of the chiller. More energy
has to be supplied for repeated air pumping to get the desired cooling
temperature. Whereas a water cooled chiller is independent of the
ambient air temperature. Thus, the utilization of water cooled chillers will
certainly guarantee a stable regulation of coolant temperatures.

6. These are the basic differences between air cooled and water cooled chillers.
Depending on the condenser type, installation and cost preferences industries
effectively choose between the two. Chiller amc in Sharjah provides best
