Air cooled chiller working principle

Question

Accepted Answer

Air cooled chiller works by transferring heat from the process water to the ambient air through a refrigeration cycle.

Air cooled chiller uses a refrigerant to absorb heat from the process water and release it to the ambient air.
The refrigerant evaporates at low pressure and temperature in the evaporator coil, absorbing heat from the water.
The refrigerant then passes through a compressor where it is compressed and heated.
The hot, high-pressure refrigerant then flows through the condenser coil where it releases heat to the ambient air and condenses back into a liquid.
The liquid refrigerant then flows back to the evaporator to repeat the cycle.
Examples of air cooled chillers include rooftop units and packaged chillers used in commercial buildings.
