Water-cooled chillers are a type of chiller system that uses water as a cooling medium to remove heat from a space or equipment. These chillers are commonly used in commercial and industrial applications where high cooling capacity is required.
Scroll and screw compressors are two common types of compressors used in water-cooled chillers. Scroll compressors are known for their efficiency and reliability, making them suitable for smaller-capacity chillers. On the other hand, screw compressors are more robust and efficient, making them ideal for larger-capacity systems.
The use of water as a cooling medium in water-cooled chillers offers several advantages, including higher energy efficiency compared to air-cooled systems, quieter operation, and longer equipment life due to reduced wear and tear on components.
