Chillers and Service in Coeur d’Alene, ID, by ACI Northwest

The main types of commercial chillers available are water–cooled chillers, air–cooled chillers, and evaporative–cooled chillers. Understanding each of them can come in handy when determining whether a chiller in Coeur d’Alene is right for your company.

• Water – cooled chillers are generally used in interior spaces with a separate water loop. They are then connected to the cooling towers, which are located outside and which drive out the heat that has been collected.
• Air – cooled chillers are commonly utilized outside because they are directly cooled through ambient air, which is mechanically circulated through the condenser coil, after which the heat is pushed out. Remote cooling towers are not necessary in this instance.
• Evaporative – cooled chillers are normally utilized outside and work by introducing water mist to the condenser coil, which assists in the cooling process. It is more efficient than air–cooling, and remote cooling towers are not needed.
