Q:What is the differences between air cooled chiller and water cooled chiller?

A:Air cooled chillers use aluminum fin+fan as condensers. They use fans to force air through the refrigerant coil, so it don’t need connect with water cooling tower and water cooling water pump.

Water cooled chillers use shell and tube as condensers. The heat enters the condenser water from the refrigerant vapor. The warm condenser water is then pumped to the water cooling tower, where the heat from the process is eventually vented to the atmosphere.
