Energy-efficient solutions: cutting-edge chillers, heat pumps and precision air conditioners

The rising demand for chillers has intensified the need for energy-efficient and low-carbon solutions that offer optimised running costs.

Chillers are specifically designed to regulate temperature by circulating a liquid medium like water or Brine. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on enhancing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions in various sectors, including commercial spaces, manufacturing industries, data centers, and hotels. Chillers have been a reliable heating and cooling solution for decades and have found extensive applications worldwide.

As the demand for chillers continues to rise, there is an increasing pressure to adopt energy-efficient and low-carbon solutions while optimising operational costs. For the past many decades, Climaveneta has been at the forefront of providing a diverse range of future-ready solutions. These solutions prioritise energy efficiency, offer reduced operational expenses, focus on minimising carbon emissions. These solutions deliver maximum comfort, high reliability, and flexible design options suitable for a wide range of applications.

Understanding chiller operation: how chillers work

A chiller operates on a vapor compression cycle to extract heat from a liquid. This cooled liquid is then circulated through a heat exchanger to cool the surrounding air. The cycle begins with the compressor, where the liquid refrigerant undergoes an increase in pressure and temperature. As a result, the refrigerant transforms into a hot vapor and proceeds to the condenser, where it is cooled and converted back into a liquid. At this stage, heat is rejected from the refrigerant, effectively removing it from the building.

Following the condenser stage, the refrigerant enters the expansion valve, where its pressure and temperature are reduced. This cooled refrigerant then enters the evaporator, where it passes through tubes or coils and absorbs heat from the liquid (usually water), subsequently cooling the air that is then distributed into the occupied space, providing cooling for the building. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor to initiate the cycle once again. Depending on the type of cooling system installed in place, refrigerants in the vapor compression cycle can transfer their heating or cooling energy to either water or air.
