What is an Air Cooled Chiller

Air cooled chillers are among the most commonly used refrigeration systems for commercial and industrial facilities. They work by absorbing heat from process water and then transferring this heat, meaning that they should be used in areas where heat discharge is not a serious issue. Like water cooled chillers, they have a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve that work to chill water and absorb heat. As opposed to water cooled chillers, they use air to fuel condenser cooling. Most if not all outdoor applications for chillers will use air cooled chillers as excess heat is released into the ambient air.
