Chillers are mechanical devices that remove heat from a liquid, usually water or glycol, to produce cooling. These systems cool the fluid by circulating it in a heat exchanger for absorbing heat from the surrounding environment or process. The main usage of chillers is observed in air-conditioning and industrial cooling systems, and also in industries dealing with refrigeration and food processing. There can be air-cooled chillers and water-cooled and the types are centrifugal, reciprocating, screw, and scroll among others. They help conserve energy, retain product freshness, and promote safety of the environment with low temperature levels.
