Types of Water Chillers
notes
Packaged or Split Components
Water-cooled chillers are rarely installed with separable components. Air-cooled
chillers, however, offer the flexibility of separating the components in different
physical locations. This flexibility allows the system design engineer to place
the components where they best serve the available space, acoustic, and
maintenance requirements of the customer.
A packaged air-cooled chiller has all of the refrigeration components
(compressor, condenser, expansion device, and evaporator) located outdoors.
A major advantage of this configuration is factory assembly and testing of all
chiller components, including the wiring, refrigerant piping, and controls.
This eliminates field labor and often results in faster installation and improved
system reliability. Additionally, all noise-generating components (compressors
and condenser fans) are located outdoors, easing indoor noise concerns.
Finally, indoor equipment-room space requirements are minimized.
