A liquid (glycol based) chiller with an air cooled condenser on the rooftop of a medium size commercial building. In air conditioning systems, chilled coolant, usually chilled water mixed with ethylene glycol, from a chiller in an air conditioning or cooling plant is typically distributed to heat exchangers, or coils, in air handlers or other types of terminal devices which cool the air in ...
Liquid-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–Carnot-cycle effectiveness. In hot climates, large office buildings, hospitals ...
The water in the chilled water circuit will be lowered to the Wet-bulb temperature or dry-bulb temperature before proceeding to the water chiller, where it is cooled to between 3 and 6 °C and pumped to the air handler, where the cycle is repeated. [3] The equipment required includes chillers, cooling towers, pumps and electrical control ...
Chillers in a district cooling at University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. District cooling is the cooling equivalent of district heating.Working on principles broadly similar to district heating, district cooling delivers chilled water to buildings like offices and factories.
The percentage of free cooling achieved mid-season is dependent on seasonal temperatures although partial free cooling commences when the ambient air temperature is 1 °C below the process return water temperature. The water is partially cooled through the free cooler, then flows through the chillers to achieve the required set point temperature.
The mechanical chiller can increase the turbine output and performance better than wetted technologies due to the fact that inlet air can be chilled below the wet bulb temperature, indifferent to the weather conditions. [16] Compression chiller equipment has higher electricity consumption than evaporative systems.
The York brand has been owned since August 2005 by Johnson Controls, when it was sold to them for $3.2 billion. [75] [76] At the time of the acquisition, it was the world's largest independent manufacturer of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration machinery. Its stock symbol was formerly YRK.
The air conditioning chillers' efficiency is measured by their coefficient of performance (COP). In theory, thermal storage systems could make chillers more efficient because heat is discharged into colder nighttime air rather than warmer daytime air. In practice, heat loss overpowers this advantage, since it melts the ice.
