Free cooling chillers
A free cooling chiller works by using natural forces such as wind, solar radiation, and evaporation to cool air.

Free cooling chillers
Cooling is accomplished by drawing in outside air, passing it through a filter, and cooling it with water through a heat exchanger. The cooled air is then circulated through the facility. The system can also be used in reverse, drawing in air from the facility and cooling it before exhausting it outside. This helps to reduce the energy demands of the facility, as well as improve the overall comfort of the occupants.
Free cooling chillers utilize water or a water/glycol solution to collect and dissipate the heat from a chilled water loop. The chilled water loop is cooled by air or a water source, such as a river, lake, or well. The process of using the air or water to cool the chilled water loop is called free cooling. The chilled water loop is then used to chill the air or water that is used in the building. The water loop is pumped through the chiller, and the heat is dissipated by the water or glycol solution. The cool water is then circulated back into the building, where it provides cooling to the space. Free cooling chillers are a cost-effective way to reduce the need for mechanical cooling and reduce energy costs.
