    Current vapor-compression chiller technology is based on the "reverse-Rankine" cycle known as vapor-compression. See the attached diagram which outlines the key components of the chiller system. Diagram showing the components of a liquid-cooled chiller A view into the exposed shell and tube heat exchanger on a centrifugal chiller. Refrigerant ...

  3. Vapor-compression refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression...

    A representative pressure–volume diagram for a refrigeration cycle. Vapour-compression refrigeration or vapor-compression refrigeration system (VCRS), [1] in which the refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is one of the many refrigeration cycles and is the most widely used method for air conditioning of buildings and automobiles.

  4. Centrifugal compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_compressor

    The simplest inlet to a centrifugal compressor is typically a simple pipe. Depending upon its use/application inlets can be very complex. They may include other components such as an inlet throttle valve, a shrouded port, an annular duct (see Figure 1.1), a bifurcated duct, stationary guide vanes/airfoils used to straight or swirl flow (see Figure 1.1), movable guide vanes (used to vary pre ...

    Chillers and cooling towers are used either separately or together as means to provide water cooling, while boilers heat water. A recent innovation is the chiller boiler system, which provides an efficient form of HVAC for homes and smaller commercial spaces. A hydronic fan unit heater used for maintaining warmth within an industrial setting.
