Air-cooled chillers cool water using a refrigerant. The cooling process involves a cycle where the evaporator cools the water and the condenser transfers heat to the air. Fans dissipate heat into the ambient air, cooling the system.

Easier installation and lower cost.

No need for a water source as it does not consume water.

Requires less maintenance due to no issues with water treatment and pipelines.

Saves indoor space as it can be used outdoors.

Efficiency depends on outdoor temperature; performance may decrease in hot weather.

Higher noise levels due to continuous fan operation.

Cooling capacity is generally lower compared to water-cooled chillers.

Regular cleaning of fans and condensers is necessary.

Filters should be checked and replaced frequently.

Refrigerant levels and system pressures should be regularly monitored.

Electrical connections and motors need regular inspections.

Air conditioning systems in commercial buildings.
