Rinse Water Technology

A chiller works on the principle of vapor compression or vapor absorption. Chillers provide a continuous flow of coolant to the cold side of a process water system at a desired temperature of about 50°F (10°C). … Refrigerant circulates through an evaporator, compressor, condenser and expansion device of a chiller.

The low-pressure gas enters the compressor where it is compressed to high-pressure gas. The high-pressure gas enters the condenser where ambient air or condenser water removes heat to cool it to a high-pressure liquid. … In a water–cooled condenser, water from a cooling tower cools and condenses the refrigerant.
