data-start=\"3720\" data-end=\"3758\">Step 2 \u2014 AHU or FCU Transfers Heat<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3760\" data-end=\"3830\">Warm indoor air passes over a chilled-water coil inside an AHU or FCU.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3832\" data-end=\"3876\">The chilled water absorbs heat from the air.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"l5tsqg\" data-start=\"3878\" data-end=\"3920\">Step 3 \u2014 Warm Water Returns to Chiller<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3922\" data-end=\"3992\">The water that has absorbed heat returns to the central chiller plant.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1ukpt0s\" data-start=\"3994\" data-end=\"4027\">Step 4 \u2014 Chiller Removes Heat<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4029\" data-end=\"4114\">Inside the evaporator, heat is transferred from the chilled water to the refrigerant.<\/p>\n<h3

The appropriate system depends on cooling load, climate, water availability, plant space, efficiency requirements, maintenance capability and lifecycle cost.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1hcds4c\" data-start=\"23837\" data-end=\"23891\">What is the difference between a chiller and an AC?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"23893\" data-end=\"24081\">An individual AC generally conditions a particular room or zone, while a chiller produces chilled water centrally and distributes cooling to multiple AHUs, FCUs or other cooling terminals.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"yt0xwt\" data-start=\"24083\" data-end=\"24132\">How is commercial chiller capacity calculated?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"24134\" data-end=\"24313\">Capacity should be based on a detailed cooling-load calculation that considers building envelope, occupancy, lighting, equipment, ventilation, solar gain and operating conditions.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"9omwb5\" data-start=\"24315\" data-end=\"24359\">Does a commercial chiller require an AHU?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"24361\" data-end=\"24489\">Not always, but AHUs are commonly used with chilled-water systems to distribute conditioned air throughout commercial buildings.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"8kwskh\" data-start=\"24491\" data-end=\"24557\">Does a water-cooled commercial chiller require a cooling tower?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"24559\" data-end=\"24695\">A conventional water-cooled chiller plant normally uses a cooling tower for heat rejection, along with condenser-water pumps and piping.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"wksra8\" data-start=\"24697\" data-end=\"24747\">Can a commercial chiller be connected to a BMS?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"24749\" data-end=\"24986\">Yes. Modern chiller plants can be integrated with BMS\/automation systems for monitoring, control, alarms and plant optimization. VIPUL&#8217;s current chiller systems are described as PLC\/BMS compatible.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"fwuswy\" data-start=\"24988\" data-end=\"25043\">How often should a commercial chiller be maintained?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"25045\" data-end=\"25256\">Maintenance frequency depends on equipment type, operating hours, manufacturer recommendations and site conditions. Continuous-use commercial plants generally require a structured preventive-maintenance program.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"ezcuvf\" data-start=\"25258\" data-end=\"25317\">Does VIPUL HVAC provide commercial chiller installation?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"25319\" data-end=\"25531\">Yes.
