Water-Cooled Chillers

A water-cooled chiller transfers heat away from an operation, process, or piece of equipment by circulating cooled water through a closed-loop system. It provides an efficient and reliable means of removing process-generated heat, thereby maintaining stable operating temperatures and ensuring production efficiency.

Typically installed indoors and used in medium to large-scale industrial or commercial applications, water-cooled chillers are particularly suitable for process cooling scenarios that demand high cooling capacity, low outlet temperatures, and continuous, dependable operation such as in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries.

Is a cooling tower required for a water-cooled chiller?

Yes. The core cooling system relies on a chiller with cooling tower. The cooling tower removes heat from the condenser discharge water, lowering its temperature before it returns to the chiller for continued cooling support. Without a cooling tower, heat exchange cannot be completed, and the unit will not operate properly.

What should be done if the water temperature becomes too high during operation?

Inspect the following three points:

Check whether the cooling tower is dirty or blocked (e.g., scaling on the filler or fan failure); clean or repair as needed.
Verify whether the circulating water pump is short of water or has insufficient head; check the valve and pump performance.
Examine whether the condenser is scaled; periodic descaling with professional cleaning agents is required to restore heat exchange efficiency.

What causes water leakage issues?

Leakage typically results from aging or deterioration of pipes and components, such as failed sealants at pipe joints, damaged cooling tower filler, or corroded condenser copper tubes. Regular inspection of pipe connections, valves, and cooling tower water levels is essential. Any detected leaks should be addressed by replacing seals or worn parts promptly.

Is a water-cooled chiller suitable for all applications?

Not entirely. It depends on a stable water supply (tap water or circulating water) and sufficient space for cooling tower installation. It is not suitable for areas with limited water resources, small workshops, or temporary cooling setups such as outdoor construction sites.

It is best suited for large-scale facilities with fixed installations and high cooling loads such as industrial plants, data centers, and environments with reliable water supply.
