Don’t be fooled; Process cooling is far different from comfort cooling
It is critical to have the best possible load information when sizing a chiller for comfort cooling. It is even more critical to have all the load variables and time constraints for a process cooling application — and the information may not be available.
The primary differences between a comfort cooling chiller and a process cooling chiller are the sanitary requirements and temperatures at which they operate. However, their specific design elements are such that chillers currently on the market are usually not suitable for both applications.
