All About Modular Chiller Systems

Modular chillers offer a wide range of benefits to your commercial or industrial HVAC system and your facility overall. For example, they’re smaller in size than standard chillers, so they’re great for retrofitting old heating and air conditioning equipment. You can fit the modules into an existing HVAC system more easily than you can a standard chiller. Additionally, having multiple modules gives your system extra redundancy. That means you’ll face less downtime if one of the modules malfunctions because each module has its own dedicated power, so it can keep producing cooling capacity for your system.

Other important benefits include modular chillers’ energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Modular chillers can be adapted for heat pumps, so they can provide heating capacity as well as cooling capacity. You can use this flexibility to cool or heat your facility as needed while you perform your commercial or industrial processes. Additionally, modular chillers meet the ASHRAE 90.1 standard easily. Some modular chillers, such as the Carrier AquaSnap Air-Cooled Chillers and Water-Cooled Chillers, use non-ozone-depleting refrigerants. These features reduce modular chillers’ environmental impact and make sure they keep your facility safe as they help cool it.
