FAQs

Ascend™ Air-Cooled Chiller with Integrated Free Cooling

An air-cooled chiller works by circulating refrigerant through a system where it absorbs heat from the process water. The refrigerant then passes through a compressor and condenser, where fans blow air over the condenser coils to dissipate the absorbed heat into the atmosphere, cooling the refrigerant before it cycles back to repeat the process.

Free cooling for commercial chillers is a method that uses low external air temperatures to assist in cooling water, reducing the need for mechanical refrigeration and saving energy.

Free cooling air-cooled chillers save money on utility bills by using cooler outdoor air to reduce or eliminate the need for mechanical refrigeration, thereby lowering energy consumption and operating costs.
