A water-cooled scroll chiller is a refrigeration system that uses a scroll compressor and water as the cooling medium to remove heat from a process or building.
It is commonly used for medium and small cooling capacities where compact size, quiet operation, and efficiency are required.
Working Principle
A water-cooled scroll chiller works on the vapor compression refrigeration cycle:
Evaporation → Compression → Condensation → Expansion
Main Components
- Scroll compressor
- Evaporator
- Water-cooled condenser
- Expansion valve
- Cooling tower
- Pumps and control system
