  2. Chiller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiller

    A liquid (glycol based) chiller with an air cooled condenser on the rooftop of a medium size commercial building. In air conditioning systems, chilled coolant, usually chilled water mixed with ethylene glycol, from a chiller in an air conditioning or cooling plant is typically distributed to heat exchangers, or coils, in air handlers or other types of terminal devices which cool the air in ...

  3. Chilled water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilled_water

    The water in the chilled water circuit will be lowered to the Wet-bulb temperature or dry-bulb temperature before proceeding to the water chiller, where it is cooled to between 3 and 6 °C and pumped to the air handler, where the cycle is repeated. [3] The equipment required includes chillers, cooling towers, pumps and electrical control ...

  4. Glycol chiller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycol_chiller

    Propylene glycol plays a significant role in the application of a glycol chiller. For cooling in brewing, there are few processes where decreasing or maintaining temperature are important - like crash cooling a beer after fermentation, or keeping a steady temperature during fermentation (which generates heat), or cooling the wort after an ...

  5. Chiller boiler system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiller_boiler_system

    A chiller boiler system is a hydronic system. It uses water instead of air to heat and cool a structure. A properly designed hydronic system is usually more efficient than a standard forced air system. [1] Chiller boiler systems use radiant heating and cooling or fan coil systems to condition a home or business. This allows for multiple zones ...

  6. Dilution refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_refrigerator

    The refrigeration process uses a mixture of two isotopes of helium: helium-3 and helium-4.When cooled below approximately 870 millikelvins, the mixture undergoes spontaneous phase separation to form a 3 He-rich phase (the concentrated phase) and a 3 He-poor phase (the dilute phase).

  7. Chilled beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilled_beam

    A chilled beam is a type of radiation/convection HVAC system designed to heat and cool large buildings through the use of water. [1] This method removes most of the zone sensible local heat gains and allows the flow rate of pre-conditioned air from the air handling unit to be reduced, lowering by 60% to 80% the ducted design airflow rate and the equipment capacity requirements.

  8. 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.

  9. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

    The equipment used can consist of machines used to remove heat such as a chiller or a cooling tower and equipment for adding heat to the building's water such as a boiler or a commercial water heater. Hydronic fan coil units can be generally divided into two types: Two-pipe fan coil units or four-pipe fan coil units. Two-pipe fan coil units ...
