Features and Advantages:
The core features of Water Cooled Water Chiller manufactured by TopChiller offers an assorted number of benefits as:
- A water-cooled condenser is integrated for an application at a high ambient temperature site. Chilled water circulating over copper coils is responsible for heat discharge from the evaporated refrigerant.
- The processing machines are cooled by heat liberation by installing water coolant in the water tank. Water coolant absorbs the system heat and retains its cooling by transferring collected heat to the refrigerant.
- Shell and tube type evaporator allows two fluids to circulate at a time in its tubing. Liquid refrigerant and hot coolant flow concurrently. The refrigerant changes its phase from liquid to gas after absorbing coolant heat.
- The whole unit is constructed with rugged stainless steel and copper material that is corrosion-resistant and environment-friendly.
- Electronic expansion valves are connected between the water-cooled condenser and heat exchanger. It receives liquid refrigerant and releases its extra pressure. Pressure releasing increases the heat-absorbing capacity of refrigerants.

What is Water Cooled Water Chiller?
A water-cooled water chiller is a device that facilitates the transfer of heat using water in its system from an internal environment such as a building to an external environment.
A water-cooled water chiller always depends on the state of the circulation of the refrigerant through the system.
Water-cooled water chiller
What are the Benefits of Water Cooled Chillers?
- Longer lifespan: water-cooled water chillers do not require frequent replacement of the parts because they do not encounter outdoor factors that may damage them.
- Quiet operation: the flow of water through water-cooled water chillers does not produce any noise and is thus very efficient for silent environments such as schools and hospitals.
- No open space needed: water-cooled water chillers do not need an open space for operation as they are kept inside buildings. Therefore, water-cooled water chillers are appropriate for companies that lack enough space on the outside of the building.
- Energy efficiency: water-cooled water chillers transfer energy more efficiently enabling businesses to save on energy costs.
- Safety: water-cooled water chillers use water as a refrigerant rather than chemicals which makes them safer for people operating the system.
Are there Limitations of Water Cooled Chiller Systems?
- Higher cost: water-cooled water chillers are relatively expensive because they need additional parts like towers for cooling and water pumps for the condenser.
- Maintenance: water-cooled water chillers have required more maintenance as they contain a lot of additional parts which need frequent monitoring and servicing to ensure efficient functioning of the system.
- Complicated installation: water-cooled water chillers are difficult to install because they have a lot of parts that result in increased labor installation costs.
- Requires mechanical room: water-cooled water chillers require a mechanical room therefore businesses have to incur an additional cost for this.
How do Water-Cooled Water Chillers Compare to Air Cooled Chillers?
Water-cooled water chillers and air-cooled chillers have the following comparisons:
- Water-cooled water chillers are preferred for large installations while air-cooled chillers are preferred for medium and smaller installations.
- A condenser is a component in air-cooled chillers that cools the air blown in while water-cooled water chillers comprise of condenser whose temperature is lowered by water connected with a cooling tower.
- Water-cooled water chillers are costly to operate and maintain as compared to air-cooled chillers.
- Water-cooled water chillers specification is measured in kW/ton that ranges from approximately 0.55 and 0.8kW/ton that is different from an air-cooled chiller that has a different load.
- Water-cooled water chillers are preferable in areas where water supply is sufficient while air-cooled chillers are preferably used in areas where water supply is not constant or where water is very expensive.
- Air-cooled chillers are preferred for all-weather use including freezing conditions, unlike the water-cooled water chillers that cannot be used in winter conditions.
- Water-cooled water chillers need to be set up where there is a constant flow of water while air-cooled chillers can be set up at any location as long as there is a source of power.
Air cooled chiller
What are the Components of Water-Cooled Water Chillers?
Components of a water-cooled water chiller include:
- Compressor: this is the driving force of the water-cooled water chiller. The four main categories of compressors are/ include screw, scroll, reciprocating, and centrifugal.
- Condenser: these are the pipes where the air is moved across the condenser to dissipate unwanted heat.
- Condenser fans: the fans are the main components that differentiate between air-cooled and water-cooled chillers.
- Evaporator/Expansion valve: this works with the heat exchanger to change the air from cold to hot and vice versa. The three types of evaporators are brazed-plate, direct expansion, flooded shell-and-tube
- Filter drier: protects the chiller from contaminants such as dust and should be replaced regularly.
- Auxiliary safety and control parts: this includes water pump, flow switch, safety valves, expansion valves, and temperature sensors.

How does Water Cooled Water Chiller Work?
A water-cooled water chiller works in the following way:
- Compression and absorption: a water-cooled water chiller works by compression of vapor and absorption of vapor.
- Coolant: water-cooled water chillers ensure the flow of the coolant at a temperature of about 50 degrees Celsius to the cold side of the system.
Pumping of the coolant through the system eliminates heat out via one area of the system and flows back via another side.
- Vapor compression: the water-cooled water chiller uses a mechanical refrigeration system for vapor compression.
It connects the process water system using an evaporator.
- The refrigerant then circulates via the parts of a water-cooled water chiller.
- Evaporator: evaporator works by helping in the heat exchange process by making sure that the cooling purpose of the water-cooled water chiller is achieved.
- Heat transfer: this process causes the evaporation of the refrigerant into a vapor with low pressure while ensuring the temperatures of the coolant are reduced.
- Compressor: once the refrigerant gets into the compressor, it carries out the following functions:
a) Removal of refrigerant: the compressor removes the refrigerant out of the evaporator while at the same time ensuring that the pressure in the evaporator is at the right temperature for the absorption of heat.
b) Raising pressure: the compressor increases the pressure of the refrigerant leaving the system to ensure maintains the right temperature and reaches the condenser with the right heat.
- A cooling medium (water) then carries to the environment the heat that is produced when the refrigerant changes to a liquid.
How do you Calculate the Cooling Capacity of a Water-Cooled Water Chiller?
To calculate the cooling capacity of a water-cooled chiller, the following should be put to mind:
- Volume rate: this is the water in the evaporator.
- Temperature: this is the water temperature both in the inlet and outlet.
- The density of water: determine it at the average temperature.
- Heat capacity: determined at the average temperature.
After determining the above factors then you can calculate the capacity of the water-cooled chiller.

What Causes Water-Cooled Water Chiller to Fail?
The following features can cause a water-cooled water chiller to fail:
- High-pressure discharge: this is mainly caused by the use of bad water treatment regimes. Before installation, you should make sure the building has strict water treatment regimes in place.
- Low-pressure discharge: this comes about if the suction valve is partially closed and therefore to avoid this, frequently check the water-cooled water chiller to ensure the suction valve is always open.
- Low suction pressure: this result is due to a low refrigerant charge. You should always check around the water-cooled water chiller system for signs top-ups needed and in case of any leaks.
- High suction pressure: this is caused by:
- Excessive load: this comes about when the load in the system is too much for it to handle. You should reduce the load or spread it among water-cooled water chillers so that the system can work efficiently.
- Overfeeding: the expansion valve might be overfeeding refrigerant so you should check if it requires changing the expansion valve or adjusting the superheat set point.
- Overcharging: another cause of high suction pressure could be the chiller overcharged with refrigerant.
This can be avoided by checking set points, temperatures, and pressures around the system to make sure they are okay and then removing any excess refrigerant.
- Electrical faults: water-cooled water chillers can experience electrical faults due to an unbalanced voltage supply.
To avoid this, you should measure your voltages frequently to make sure they are always balanced.
- Controls: this occurs when the flow sensor breaks more so do the paddle sensors.
It can be avoided by checking the water-cooled water chiller system before turning it on.
It is to ensure that there is sufficient flow of water through the evaporator and the condenser preventing it from freezing.
