Session 1: Introduction to Chiller Systems

• Chiller
- Definition and Function
- A chiller is a mechanical device that removes heat from a
liquid via a vapor-compression, absorption refrigeration
cycle, or other means.
- Its primary function is to cool and dehumidify air in various
spaces, such as industrial facilities, commercial buildings,
and process cooling applications.

- Components and Working Principle

- Components include an evaporator, compressor, condenser,
and expansion valve.
- The working principle involves the compression and
expansion of refrigerant to absorb and release heat.
