Frequently Asked Hitachi Chiller Questions
What are chillers and where are they used?
Chillers are cooling systems that remove heat from water or glycol to provide air conditioning or process cooling. They are widely used in offices, hospitals, data centres, and industrial facilities.
What’s the difference between air-cooled and water-cooled chillers?
Air-cooled chillers reject heat to the atmosphere through condenser fans, while water-cooled chillers use cooling towers for greater efficiency in larger installations. The choice of unit(s) depends on site size, climate, and available infrastructure.
What refrigerants are used in modern chillers?
Today’s chillers increasingly use lower GWP refrigerants such as R1234ze and R32 to comply with F-Gas regulations. While certain newer installations are shifting more towards eco-friendly alternatives, chillers utilising R410A or R134a can still play a part in a greater energy efficient system and shouldn't be discounted. Ask our experts how we can incorporate such chillers into your green energy and net-zero projects.
Are chillers energy efficient compared to VRF systems?
Both have their advantages. Chillers excel in large-scale applications and can deliver very high efficiency when paired with free cooling or heat recovery. VRF systems are typically more efficient for mid-sized, zoned applications. The choice depends on project requirements, which our experts here at The MEP Shop can help you with.
How can chillers help us achieve green energy and decarbonisation goals?
Not only can well-maintained chillers last for several decades, energy-efficient chillers with eco refrigerants aid in compliance with BREEAM, LEED, and net-zero targets. Contact us today to find out how your net-zero goals can be met.
