Product overviewIndustrial chillers produce chilled water or water/glycol mixtures for HVAC and process cooling. They receive warm fluid from air handler coils or process loads, lower the fluid temperature, and a pump returns it to the coil or process. Chillers are available as air-cooled or water-cooled units; air-cooled chillers reject heat to ambient air, while water-cooled chillers reject heat to a secondary fluid loop (typically a cooling tower or dry cooler).
