Product Description
A chilled water air conditioning system is a type of central air conditioning that uses water to cool air in large buildings. It works by circulating chilled water through a network of pipes to air handlers, which then blow the cooled air into the building. The warm air returns to the chiller to be cooled again.
Here are some more details about chilled water air conditioning systems:
- Components: A chilled water system includes a chiller unit, cooling tower, pumps, piping network, and air handling units.
- Water temperature: Chilled water is typically kept between 37 and 43 deg F (3 and 6 deg C).
- Water mixture: The water in the pipes is usually a mixture of water and glycol to prevent freezing.
- Insulation: Well-insulated chilled water pipes can be very long without any practical distance limit.
- Water treatment: Water loops need to be treated to prevent corrosion, scale, and biological growth.
- Use: Chilled water systems are common in commercial settings like factories, hotels, and shopping malls.
