Chiller Cooling Tower Design

Depending on the scale and layout of a building multiple chillers and cooling towers may be needed.

The compressor which is the driving force of the refrigerant around the system. Water cooled chiller cooling capacity from 2ton to 65ton and water cooling tower from 30ton to 380ton. The condenser which removes the unwanted heat from the system and send this to the cooling tower. A trane engineers newsletter live cooling towers and condenser water systems.

After cooling off a bit the condenser water returns to the condenser cylinder at about 80 degrees f. The chiller then transfers heat to the air around the chiller unit. Besides air cooled chiller topchiller also provides water cooled chiller and cooling tower. For example a dedicated system for a server room may run independently from the rest of the building.

The expansion valve which expands the refrigerant and controls the superheat into the compressor and the evaporator which collects the unwanted heat. An hvac heating ventilating and air conditioning cooling tower is used to dispose of reject unwanted heat from a chiller water 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. Chillers absorb heat from a coolant which is fully contained in a cooling system.
