Chillers absorb heat from a coolant which is fully contained in a cooling system.
Chiller cooling tower design.
Besides air cooled chiller topchiller also provides water cooled chiller and cooling tower.
Design and operation cooling tower fundamentals.
An hvac heating ventilating and air conditioning cooling tower is used to dispose of reject unwanted heat from a chiller water cooled chillers are normally more energy efficient than air cooled chillers due to heat rejection to tower water at or near wet bulb temperatures air cooled chillers must reject heat at the higher dry bulb temperature and thus have a lower average reverse.
The condenser which removes the unwanted heat from the system and send this to the cooling tower.
This kind of water cooled chiller works with a proper cooling tower and circulation water pump to make a complete water cooling system.
In the illustration above we have shown the main chiller components.
For example a dedicated system for a server room may run independently from the rest of the building.

Though chillers and cooling towers perform similar functions they vary according to their types and components used and the nature of the equipment they cool and power.
Depending on the scale and layout of a building multiple chillers and cooling towers may be needed.
The expansion valve which expands the refrigerant and controls the superheat into the compressor and the evaporator which collects the unwanted heat.
