The condenser then rejects the collected heat to outdoor air using condenser coils and fans.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"10ld4qe\" data-start=\"21956\" data-end=\"22007\">Does an air cooled chiller need a cooling tower?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"22009\" data-end=\"22154\"><strong data-start=\"22009\" data-end=\"22026\">Normally, no.<\/strong> A conventional air cooled chiller rejects heat directly to outdoor air and therefore does not require a separate cooling tower.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1kdnml1\" data-start=\"22156\" data-end=\"22201\">Is an air cooled chiller energy efficient?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"22203\" data-end=\"22475\">Efficiency depends on the equipment, ambient conditions, load profile, chilled-water temperatures, controls and maintenance. Air cooled systems can have higher peak power requirements than water-cooled systems under some conditions.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"qs5up8\" data-start=\"22477\" data-end=\"22548\">What is the difference between air cooled and water cooled chillers?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"22550\" data-end=\"22712\">An air cooled chiller rejects heat directly to outdoor air. A water cooled chiller uses a condenser-water circuit and normally a cooling tower for heat rejection.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"162xy4q\" data-start=\"22714\" data-end=\"22779\">Is an air cooled chiller suitable for industrial applications?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"22781\" data-end=\"22960\">Yes. Air cooled chillers can be used for industrial HVAC and process-cooling applications, subject to the required temperatures, flow rates, operating conditions and cooling load.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1zq05f\" data-start=\"22962\" data-end=\"23013\">Is an air cooled chiller suitable for hospitals?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"23015\" data-end=\"23175\">It can form part of a hospital HVAC plant, but healthcare areas require application-specific ventilation, filtration, pressure and environmental-control design.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"s87iyt\" data-start=\"23177\" data-end=\"23231\">How often should an air cooled chiller be serviced?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"23233\" data-end=\"23411\">The maintenance schedule should follow the manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations and the site&#8217;s operating conditions. High-use or critical systems may require more frequent inspections.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1pv3r1x\" data-start=\"23413\" data-end=\"23478\">What causes an air cooled chiller to lose cooling performance?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"23480\" data-end=\"23704\">Potential causes include dirty condenser coils, inadequate chilled-water flow, fan problems, high ambient conditions, control faults and refrigeration-system issues.
