A chiller is a machine that removes heat from a liquid through a vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycle. The chilled liquid can be circulated through a heat exchanger to cool equipment, industrial processes, or air within buildings. Chillers are essential in commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities where process cooling or air conditioning is required.
Chillers come in various types based on temperature ranges and operational principles, including air-cooled and water-cooled variants. They are extensively used in sectors like manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, data centers, and commercial buildings due to their energy efficiency and effectiveness in temperature regulation.
