We ll first start with the chiller.
Air cooled chiller circuit diagram.
A refrigeration circuit and a fluid circuit.
Air cooled chillers will use fans to blow cool ambient air over their condenser to remove heat from the system this type does not use a cooling tower.
The refrigeration circuit is made up of four.
I ll show you some examples of how chillers are illustrated in schematics as it really varies.

The two in the top right and the one in the bottom right are all air cooled chillers and the rest are water cooled.
Air cooled water chiller.
The compressor has two functions in the refrigerant cycle.
It can be either air cooled a coil or coils and a fan or fans or water cooled another shell tube heat exchanger cooled by cooling tower or other water.
Open or close the descriptions below with the icons.
Compressor 1 the compressor has two functions in the refrigerant cycle.
For the remainder of this article we will focus on water cooled chillers and cooling towers.
1 1 air cooled condenser.
The process fluid absorbs heat from what is being cooled and then goes through the chiller where the heat is removed from the fluid and transferred to the ambient air.
Industrial water or glycol chiller systems contain two main circuits.
