Water Chilling Plant

Water-cooled chillers are used in large industrial plants where a cooling water supply is readily available. Cooling is provided to the condenser at a much higher efficiency compared to air-cooled types.A water-cooled chilled water plant usually consists of a shell and tube type water-cooled condenser. The condenser is a heat exchanger that removes heat from refrigerant vapour and transfers it to the water. Cooling towers are outside of the building with a make-up water circuit to evaporate condensed water.While HVAC systems are responsible for regulating the comfort levels of most indoor environments, a chiller plant act as a centralized cooling system which provides cooling for a building or a number of buildings. Additionally, it provides a portion of the air conditioning by HVAC systems.
