What is a Chiller?
A chiller is a machine built to satisfy a need for
cooling via the chilling of a fluid, most commonly water. Chillers
can be categorized as one of two basic types; those which employ
a mechanical vapor compression cycle with a fluorocarbon based
refrigerant, and those which use a chemical absorption process
with water as the refrigerant. A variety of subtypes exist within
each category.
Carrier manufactures an extensive array of chillers
of both types. Mechanical
vapor compression chillers most commonly
utilize centrifugal, rotary screw, or reciprocating compressors.
Absorption chillers
are available in both single and double effect versions. All
feature the quality and reliability you'd expect from the world's
number one air-conditioning company.
