Water-Cooled Chiller Cooling Solutions

Advantage Water-Cooled Chillers for High-Efficiency Applications

In high-demand industrial and process environments, Advantage water-cooled chillers are essential for delivering superior cooling efficiency where condenser water is available. These systems excel in large-scale manufacturing, medical imaging, and precision machining operations.

Advantage water-cooled chillers utilize non-ferrous fluid circuits, stainless steel pumps, shell-and-tube or brazed plate condensers, and Copeland scroll compressors for maximum durability and heat transfer. Available from 1 to 540+ tons in portable or central configurations, they integrate with cooling towers, city water, or closed-loop systems and include advanced microprocessor controls with remote monitoring. Their compact indoor design maximizes floor space and performance.

Advantage water-cooled chillers provide critical high-efficiency cooling, heat recovery, and system integration across industrial and institutional settings. Built with UL 1995 and ASME components, they meet AHRI 550/590 efficiency standards. Hot gas bypass, electronic expansion valves, and predictive diagnostics ensure stable operation and energy savings.

Water-Cooled Cooling Solutions Achieving peak efficiency and performance requires advanced heat rejection systems that leverage water resources. Advantage Engineering leads in water-cooled chillers with a full range of high-performance units designed for your facility.

High-Capacity Cooling: Central water-cooled systems support multiple CNC machines, lasers, and process lines with tight temperature control.

Medical Equipment Cooling: Water-cooled units maintain MRI, CT, and linear accelerator temperatures for imaging accuracy.

Heat Recovery Integration: Condenser water captures waste heat for facility heating or process preheating.

Tower Optimization: Chillers pair with cooling towers for year-round efficiency and reduced water consumption.

Indoor Installation: Compact design fits mechanical rooms with minimal noise and vibration.

Energy Efficiency: Water-cooled systems achieve up to 30% lower energy use than air-cooled equivalents in high-load applications.

Water-cooled chillers offer 20–30% higher efficiency due to superior heat rejection via water. They operate quieter, require less space, and perform better in high-ambient or high-load conditions. Ideal for indoor installations with access to cooling towers or city water, they reduce long-term energy costs and environmental impact.

Advantage water-cooled chillers work with:

  • Cooling Towers: Open or closed-circuit towers for year-round operation.
  • City/Municipal Water: Once-through systems with flow regulation (where permitted).
  • Closed-Loop Systems: Glycol or treated water loops with heat exchangers.

Non-ferrous condensers prevent corrosion from poor water quality.

Advantage water-cooled chillers integrate seamlessly with cooling towers via pump stations, filtration, and automated controls. The chiller’s condenser water loop connects to the tower, rejecting heat efficiently. Variable speed pumps and tower fan controls optimize water flow and energy use based on load and wet-bulb temperature.

Regular maintenance includes:

  • Tube Cleaning: Mechanical brushing or chemical treatment to remove scale and biofilm.
  • Water Treatment: Corrosion inhibitors, biocides, and filtration to protect tubes.
  • Flow Verification: Ensures proper GPM to prevent fouling and efficiency loss.
  • Leak Testing: Annual pressure tests on condenser water circuits.
  • Strainer Cleaning: Removes debris from inlet water supply.
