Water Cooled Chiller System Diagram

I ll show you some examples of how chillers are illustrated in schematics as it really varies.

Water cooled chiller system diagram.

An air cooled condenser uses ambient air to cool and condense the hot refrigerant gas back down to a liquid. The two in the top right and the one in the bottom right are all air cooled chillers and the rest are water cooled. An hvac heating ventilating and air conditioning cooling tower is used to dispose of reject unwanted heat from a chiller water cooled chillers are normally more energy efficient than air cooled chillers due to heat rejection to tower water at or near wet bulb temperatures air cooled chillers must reject heat at the higher dry bulb temperature and thus have a lower average reverse. The process fluid absorbs heat from what is being cooled and then goes through the chiller where the heat is removed from the fluid and transferred to the ambient air.

A chilled water system using an air cooled chiller water cooled chiller. It can be located inside the chiller or can be remotely located outside but ultimately it rejects the heat from the chiller to the air. Chilled water schematic examples different chiller representations. A refrigeration circuit and a fluid circuit.

They work almost the same way as air cooled chillers. For the remainder of this article we will focus on water cooled. Air cooled chiller and water cooled chiller. In a water cooled condenser water from a cooling tower cools and condenses the refrigerant.

Two circuits industrial water or glycol chiller systems contain two main circuits. Water cooled chillers are almost always located inside of a building. You can learn about this system and watch the video tutorial by clicking here.
