Water-Cooled Electric Chillers
March 26, 2009 | Updated: May 29, 2012
Although a chiller’s annual energy costs can amount to one-third of its purchase price, choosing one that is most efficient at full or part load might be counterproductive because the ratings don’t measure the efficiency of the overall cooling system.
