Chiller Industry Overview:
The chiller industry encompasses both commercial and industrial settings, including large buildings like hospitals, universities, and factories. Despite their scale, chiller systems share many components with residential refrigeration systems.
Chiller Technicians:
Chiller technicians are professionals experienced in refrigeration systems and well-versed in HVAC and refrigeration theory. They usually move from residential or smaller-scale work to commercial settings.
Chiller System Purpose:
A chiller produces chilled water to cool various components or spaces. There are two main types of chillers: high pressure and low pressure. A deeper dive into the different types will be covered separately.
Refrigerants in Chillers:
Chillers use two types of refrigerants:
Primary Refrigerants: Actual refrigerants that change between liquid and gas states.
Secondary Refrigerants: Water treated with chemicals to remain liquid and non-potable, circulating to transfer heat.
