Ilmavesijäähdytin

An ilmavesijäähdytin, also known as an air-to-water chiller, is a type of refrigeration unit used for cooling. It works by circulating a refrigerant through a system that absorbs heat from the surrounding air. This absorbed heat is then transferred to a water loop. The warmed water is then pumped to a heat exchanger, where it is cooled by the ambient air through a fan-driven coil. This cooled water is then recirculated to absorb more heat.

Ilmavesijäähdytin units are commonly employed in HVAC systems for both residential and commercial buildings to provide cooling. They are also utilized in various industrial processes where temperature control is critical, such as in manufacturing, data centers, and food processing. The primary advantage of an ilmavesijäähdytin is its ability to efficiently cool large volumes of air or water using ambient air as the cooling medium, making it a cost-effective solution in many applications.

The main components of an ilmavesijäähdytin typically include a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator, along with fans and pumps. The refrigerant undergoes a phase change throughout the cycle, absorbing heat in the evaporator and releasing it in the condenser. The effectiveness of an ilmavesijäähdytin is influenced by factors such as ambient air temperature and the desired cooling load. Regular maintenance is important to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
