Chiller Basics - How they work
The Engineering Mindset・2 minutes read
A chiller is a machine that generates cool water for air-conditioning in buildings, with key components like the evaporator and condenser crucial for heat transfer. Different circuits such as the refrigeration loop and chilled water loop play essential roles in the operation, making a central system more economical for larger cooling needs.
Insights
- Chillers play a crucial role in air conditioning by circulating chilled water through buildings to absorb heat and maintain a comfortable indoor environment.
- Knowledge of the key components such as the evaporator, condenser, compressor, and circuits like the refrigeration loop is vital for efficient chiller operation and overall industry expertise.
