High Efficiency in Air Distribution

Chiller AC Systems

The chiller air conditioning system is a central cooling system that depends on Chilled water Instead of direct refrigerant gas, the main chiller unit cools the water, and the chilled water is then pumped through a network of pipes to air handling units (AHU) or fan coil units (FCU) inside the building to distribute the cooled air.

System components:

  • Unit Chiller: It cools the water.

  • Tank Water Chilled: It is used in some large projects to store chilled water.

  • Water pumps: To pump chilled water through the network.

  • Indoor Units (FCU/AHU): Distributes cooled air inside the building.

  • Insulated pipe network: Transfers cold water between units.

Features of chiller air conditioning

High energy efficiency at high loads.

Suitable for large buildings and projects such as universities, hospitals, airports, and shopping malls.

Long lifespan compared to other systems.

Ability to connect a large number of indoor units to one main unit.

Disadvantages of the shiller system

Its initial cost is high compared to other systems.

Requires a special service room (Chiller Plant Room) for installation and operation.

Maintenance work is more complex and requires specialized technicians.

Not suitable or practical for small and medium residential buildings.

Places of use

  • Hospitals and universities.

  • Residential towers and major hotels.

  • Malls and airports.

  • Huge residential complexes.

Frequently asked questions about the chiller air conditioning system

What is the chiller system?

It is a central air conditioning system that depends on Chilled water Instead of direct refrigerant gas, the chiller cools water and then pumps it to the air handling units (AHU or FCU) inside the building to distribute the cooled air.

What are the advantages of the chiller system?
  • Perfect for cooling Very large buildings Such as hospitals, universities, malls, and airports.

  • more Energy Efficiency At heavy loads.

  • He provides High flexibility In the control and distribution of cooling.

  • It is characterized by Long life span Compared to other systems.
