The compressor has two functions in the refrigerant cycle.
Air cooled chiller circuit diagram.
1 1 air cooled condenser.
A type of condenser where refrigerant flows through the tubes and rejects heat into a flow of ambient air most chiller units are fitted with air cooled condensers.
First it removes the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator and reduces the pressure in the evaporator to a point where the desired evaporating temperature can be maintained.

Compressor 1 the compressor has two functions in the refrigerant cycle.
A refrigeration circuit and a fluid circuit.
Industrial water or glycol chiller systems contain two main circuits.
The process fluid absorbs heat from what is being cooled and then goes through the chiller where the heat is removed from the fluid and transferred to the ambient air.
Air cooled chillers will use fans to blow cool ambient air over their condenser to remove heat from the system this type does not use a cooling tower.
Circuit schematic of air cooled portable water chiller to 4 tons.
For the remainder of this article we will focus on water cooled chillers and cooling towers.
I ll show you some examples of how chillers are illustrated in schematics as it really varies.
Air cooled water chiller.
The refrigeration circuit is made up of four.
We ll first start with the chiller.
