Application Considerations

There are several considerations to address when applying helical-rotary water

chillers, including:

■Air-cooled or water-cooled condensing

■Condensing temperature control

■Constant or variable evaporator water flow

■Short evaporator water loops

■Equipment certification standards

This section is by no means the entire list of considerations, but is

representative of some of the key issues.

Air-Cooled or Water-Cooled Condensing

Although this is not a new consideration, the question of which condenser type

to apply continues to receive attention. A major advantage of air-cooled chillers
