Presentation Overview

Air-cooled and water-cooled chillers both perform the same refrigeration function but reject condenser heat through fundamentally different means, which drives significant differences in efficiency, installation cost, and operational complexity.

Water-cooled chillers reject heat to a cooling tower through a condenser water loop, achieving higher efficiency because water is a more effective heat transfer medium than air.

Air-cooled chillers eliminate the cooling tower entirely, trading some efficiency for lower capital cost, simpler maintenance, and reduced water consumption. Selecting between the two technologies requires evaluating first cost, energy cost, water availability, ambient conditions, and the client's tolerance for mechanical system complexity.
