What is a water-cooled reciprocating chiller?
A water-cooled reciprocating chiller is an industrial refrigeration system that uses a reciprocating compressor and water-cooled condenser to produce chilled water for manufacturing, process cooling, and HVAC applications.
How does a water-cooled reciprocating chiller work?
The system compresses refrigerant, rejects heat through a water-cooled condenser, reduces pressure through an expansion device, and absorbs heat through the evaporator to produce chilled water.
What is the advantage of a water-cooled chiller?
Water-cooled chillers typically offer higher energy efficiency, lower operating costs, and more stable performance than air-cooled systems, particularly in large industrial applications.
What temperature range can Airtech chillers achieve?
Airtech water-cooled reciprocating chillers are designed to operate across a temperature range from +12°C to −40°C depending on process requirements.
Which refrigerants are used?
Common refrigerants include R-404A, R-407C, and R-410A, selected based on operating conditions and cooling requirements.
Which industries use water-cooled reciprocating chillers?
Industries include plastics, pharmaceuticals, dairy, food processing, chemicals, breweries, packaging, HVAC, and cold storage facilities.
Does a water-cooled reciprocating chiller require a cooling tower?
Yes. Water-cooled chillers typically use cooling towers to reject heat from the condenser and maintain efficient operation.
What maintenance is required?
Routine maintenance includes condenser cleaning, cooling tower maintenance, refrigerant checks, compressor inspections, water treatment monitoring, and electrical system inspections.
What capacity water-cooled reciprocating chillers does Airtech manufacture?
Airtech manufactures customized systems for a wide range of industrial cooling loads. Capacity ranges should be confirmed with the engineering team.
Why choose Airtech for industrial chillers?
Airtech combines 27+ years of cooling expertise, certified manufacturing, customized engineering, and global export experience to deliver reliable industrial cooling solutions.
