What is a water cooled chiller?

A water cooled chiller is a cooling system that removes heat from a building or industrial process using chilled water and a water-cooled condenser connected to a cooling tower or dry cooler.

What are the advantages of water cooled chillers?

Water cooled chillers offer high energy efficiency, reliable cooling performance, quieter operation and are ideal for large commercial or industrial cooling loads.

Are water cooled chillers more efficient than air cooled chillers?

In many large-scale applications, water cooled chillers are more energy efficient than air cooled chillers because water transfers heat more effectively than air.

Where are water cooled chillers used?

Water cooled chillers are commonly used in: Manufacturing plants Data centres Hospitals Commercial buildings HVAC systems Food processing facilities Pharmaceutical production

Do water cooled chillers require a cooling tower?

Most water cooled chillers operate with a cooling tower or dry cooler to reject heat from the condenser water loop.

What size water cooled chiller do I need?

The correct chiller size depends on cooling load, application type, ambient conditions and operational requirements. GalxC can provide full cooling load assessments and system design support.

Can GalxC provide installation and maintenance?

Yes. GalxC offers complete water cooled chiller solutions including design, installation, commissioning, servicing, maintenance and emergency support throughout the UK.

What Are Water Cooled Chillers?

Water cooled chillers are refrigeration systems that remove heat from a process or building by transferring it into a separate condenser water circuit. Unlike air cooled chillers, which reject heat directly to ambient air, water cooled chillers use a cooling tower or dry cooler to dissipate heat efficiently.

A typical water cooled chiller system includes:

Compressor
Evaporator
Condenser
Expansion valve
Cooling tower or condenser water circuit

Because water is a highly effective heat transfer medium, water cooled chillers are often more energy efficient than air cooled systems, particularly for large-scale industrial cooling and HVAC applications.

Powerful and efficient water cooling.

Water cooled chillers are a powerful and efficient way to cool large industrial or commercial spaces. They utilise water to absorb and transfer heat away from the enclosed area, providing a reliable and consistent cooling effect.

Water cooled chillers are designed to be durable and energy efficient, helping reduce energy costs and improve efficiency. They are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, making them suitable for a variety of applications. With proper installation and maintenance, water cooled chillers can provide years of reliable and efficient cooling.
