Download Chiller Types and Installation

There are four main components in a normal cooling cycle or chiller. The main

chiller components are the Compressor, Condenser, Evaporator, Expansion Valve

• The Compressor (The Refrigerant Mover)

which provides the energy to move the refrigerant around the refrigerant circuit.

• The Evaporator Coil (Heat Exchanger) – Absorbs Heat

where heat is absorbed from the building and the water is cooled down to be used within the building to cool the space.

• The Evaporator Coil (Heat Exchanger) – Absorbs Heat

where heat is absorbed from the building and the water is cooled down to be used within the building to cool the space.

• The Condenser Coil (Heat Exchanger) – Rejects Heat

which rejects the heat from the building into the water going to a cooling tower or in an air-cooled chiller the heat is rejected to the outdoor ambient air.
