Modular Chillers -Advance Industrial Refrigeration
Modular chiller is used to cool the brine and water and to dehumidify the air in industrial processes and buildings. Modular chillers are capable of this cooling using the evaporator and also has an installed internal or remote condenser with appropriate controls. The condenser in the modular chillers can be of two types as water-cooled or air-cooled condenser. The modular chillers have gained increasing popularity due to its wide range of applications from space cooling to process purposes.
Modular chillers have emerged recently as a more cost-effective, mass-produced answer to completely customized chillers in HVAC systems. What is a modular chiller? It’s a small packaged chiller that your HVAC provider can combine with other chiller modules to make a single larger machine within your HVAC system. Let’s explore the different types of modular chiller systems and how you can benefit from installing one in your commercial HVAC system.

Modular Chiller Types
The different types of modular chillers include modular water-cooled chillers and modular air-cooled chillers.. However, both types have the same central parts, including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator. Within those two main types, there are a few subtypes related to their compressor types: centrifugal, screw, and scroll. Our team members at Air Comfort can help you decide which modular chiller type and subtype best fit your facility’s HVAC operations.
WHAT‘S A MODULAR CHILLER’S PURPOSE?
In general, chillers expand your HVAC system’s cooling capacity. A modular chiller uses two or more modules to expand your system’s cooling capacity further than a standard chiller would. When the modules work together, they create a larger capacity than one standard chiller would alone.
