What is a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller?
A Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller uses water as a medium to provide cooling in different industrial applications. It is an aerodynamic or turbine-type refrigeration system.
It moves the gas by changing rotational kinetic energy to dynamic energy.
A Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller uses a vapor compression cycle to cool the water and remove the heat absorbed by the chilled water.
It also removes the heat from the compressor to a re-circulation of a water loop cooled by a cooling tower. It processes the water in a centrifugal refrigeration circuit to generate cooling.
It works with a direct current motor drive and uses magnetic bearing technology.
A Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller is mostly used in semi-conductor, food, chemical, and automotive industries.
Its compressor uses multiple prime movers which include DC motors, AC motors with frequency varying drives, diesel engines, gas turbines, and steam turbines.
By regulating the speed of the centrifugal compressor you can enhance the capacity of the Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller.

Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller
What is the Working Principle of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller?
Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller is a refrigeration machine. It utilizes the vapor compression principle to cool the water.
It also removes the heat from the chilled water and compressor by using cooling towers. It has two working circuits.
- Centrifugal Refrigeration Circuit
The centrifugal refrigeration circuit of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller is used to cool down the water that is used as a heat exchange medium.
It has four major components compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve.
All these components perform specific functions.
- Water Circuit
The water circuit of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller is used to cool down your application by flowing chilled water through your application.
It consists of a reservoir tank, water boxes, pump, filters, and a heat exchanger.
The refrigeration cycle of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller starts from the endothermic process of evaporation.
In this process, the refrigerant is boiled and changes its state from liquid to gas.
This gas is then sent to the compressor which is composed of a prime mover and a centrifugal compressor.
It then converts the kinetic energy of the gas into pressure by raising its temperature and pressure.
This processed refrigerant is then sent to the heat exchanger for condensation. There it processes the refrigerant and removes heat from it.
In the process of condensation, the refrigerant is condensed from a gas state to a liquid. It takes away the extra heat to the cooling tower where heat is dissipated to the atmosphere.
After the exothermic process of condensation, the liquid refrigerant is driven through a device known as an expansion valve that reduces the pressure of the liquid.
Working Principle of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller
What are the Components of Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller?
The major components of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller are;
- An Evaporator
- A Centrifugal Compressor
- A Condenser
- An Expansion Valve
- Water Boxes
- Control Panel
- Power Unit
- An Evaporator
A Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller uses a shell and tube-type evaporator that acts as a heat exchanger.
An evaporator dissipates the heat from incoming water. It requires heat to change the processed liquid into a gas.
A flooded evaporator is highly energy efficient in this regard. This chilled water then circulates it in the tube.
A refrigerant submerges the tubes in the shell completely.
- A Centrifugal Compressor
A Centrifugal Compressor is responsible for converting rotational kinetic energy to the dynamic energy of flood flow.
The refrigerant in the process begins to the pump impeller and flows outwards in the radial direction and then exits.
It uses magnetic bearing technology and a DC motor.
The main components of a centrifugal compressor are casing and inlet, impellers, diffuser, and collector.
The centrifugal compressor of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller can be of two types; Single stage centrifugal compressor and Multi-stage centrifugal compressor.
- A Condenser
Just like a tube and shell-type evaporator, the condenser is also a shell and tube heat exchanger.
The condenser dissipates the heat from the refrigerant gas and condenses it into a liquid and ejects the excess heat to the atmosphere.
- An Expansion Valve
An expansion device is used to reduce the pressure of the refrigerant liquid.
You can choose a simple orifice plate or an electronic modulating valve for higher efficiency.
- Water Boxes
The water boxes are mounted to the evaporator and condenser.
The main purpose of water boxes is to segregate the inlet and outlet. They can be open-ended or closed-ended.
- Control Panel
The control panel of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller monitors.
The overall performance of the system and generates alarms in any irregular condition to prevent big losses.
It is placed on your Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller.
- Power Unit
The power unit controls the electricity flow throughout the components of the Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller.
It is usually composed of a starter, speed controller and circuit breaker, etc.

It operates via an impeller, much like a water pump. The impeller compresses the refrigerant.
- Longer Lifespan
A Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller doesn’t need replacement as often as an air-cooled centrifugal chiller.
- Inaudible Operation
Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller operates smoothly and quietly. The flow of water throughout the system doesn’t result in the same noisy expansion and contraction that you can hear in the air-cooled chiller.
Quiet operation is particularly important in some environments such as hospitals and schools, where noise can cause disturbance to occupants.
- Energy Efficiency
The film coefficient is 10 to 100 times better in Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller versus other chillers consumes very low electrical power.
This means that a water-cooled chiller transfers heat more efficiently. The result is savings in energy costs.

A water-cooled chiller uses water as a refrigerant instead of toxic chemicals. This makes it safer for people who operate it.
- Two Compressors
The Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller can be used with two compressors to further enhance the capability of your application.
- Closed Loop Control Operation
Closed-loop control operation of the water-cooled centrifugal system provides very precise and accurate control of cooling rate which is very much essential for some industries like the plastics industry.
What are the advantages of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller for your Application?
The water-cooled chiller is cooled by Freon refrigerant to perform the endothermic process of evaporation in the evaporator to absorb the heat of refrigerant water.
The Freon wet steam after evaporation is compressed into high-temperature and pressure gas by the centrifugal compressor.
It condenses in the water-cooled condenser of Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller and turns into liquid. After that, it enters the evaporator for recycling through the expansion valve throttle.
Hence, making 7 degrees Celsius to 12 degrees Celsius air terminal air conditioning chilled water supply.
Some of the Advantages of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller for your Application:

Low Noise Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller
How a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller is Different from an Air-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller?
The main reason for their difference is their condensers, the way of heat dissipation.
A Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller has a cooling tower so it features higher efficiency than an air-cooled centrifugal chiller.
Another reason for its higher efficiency is that it condenses the refrigerant on the ambient temperature wet bulb temperature, which is less than the ambient dry bulb temperature.
The lower condensation means higher efficiency. A Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller has some additional components like cooling towers, condenser water pumps, makeup water pumps, or TES reservoirs.
It is usually smaller in size as compared to the air-cooled centrifugal chiller.
While air-cooled centrifugal chiller is used where there is water shortage. It uses a current of ambient air.
It uses air as a medium to provide a cooling effect to different industrial applications. It has a lower refrigerant condensing temperature than Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller.
How to Calculate the Efficiency of Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller for your Application?
The efficiency of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller depends on the amount of energy consumed and the cooling delivered.
You can calculate the efficiency of Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller for your application.
The complete method of calculating the efficiency of a chiller is not rocket science; the efficiency of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller is measured in “Coefficient of Performance” also known as COP.
The coefficient of performance is the ratio between the amount of cooling effect a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller produces and the amount of electric power is consumed to produce cooling.
Both of these values should be measured in KW (Kilowatts).
For example:
A Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller that produces 2300KW of cooling or 7,847,924.7 BTUs per Hour in metric units. The electrical power requirements to generate this are 450KW.
The metric calculation of the efficiency of a Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller will be;
2300KW/ 450KW = 5.1. The COP is 5.1, which means that every 1kw of electric power is input, which will produce 5.1KW of cooling effect.
Remember one thing that the coefficient of performance varies with the cooling load on different chillers.
The manufacturer of Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller should be able to give the design data of COP.
So, you can compare it with the performance of your Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller to diagnose operational issues.

How to Troubleshoot Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller?
Some of the Water Cooled Centrifugal Chillers are provided with the display board which indicates the error code in case of any problem occurs in your Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller.
You can consult the manufacturer manual for decoding error codes and troubleshooting. Some of the problems and their causes are given below for your convenience.
- High-Pressure Discharge
High-pressure discharge is very common in Water Cooled Centrifugal chillers and its main cause is bad water treatment systems. Make sure your building has a strict water treatment.
Low-Pressure Discharge
One issue that causes low-pressure discharge is if the suction valve is partially closed, so check that. It’s uncommon but it could happen.
Refrigerant undercharge can cause low-pressure discharge.
You will need to make checks on the system to that it has enough refrigerant charge. If you find any problem, then it needs to be topped up.
Low Suction Pressure
The low suction pressure could be down to a low refrigerant charge. Check out your centrifugal refrigeration system signs of this and top up if needed.
Don’t forget to check for leaks as well. If the pressure becomes too high in the Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller, it might have vented through the safety relief valves.
High Suction Pressure
Now if you experience a high-pressure warning on the suction line.
It happens when the excessive load is probably the main one and that is where the cooling load is just too much for the Water Cooled Centrifugal Chiller to handle.
