The life expectancy of an air-cooled chiller is generally between 15 to 20 years. This can vary based on multiple factors including: the build quality of the unit, maintenance practices, operating conditions, usage patterns and if it’s installed correctly, as per manufacturers recommendations.
Regular monitoring and preventive maintenance are crucial to ensuring that an air-cooled chiller reaches or even exceeds its expected lifespan.
Air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers each have their own advantages and are suitable for different applications. Air-cooled chillers generally have lower initial and maintenance costs because they do not require cooling towers or condenser water pumps. The installation process is also typically simpler and they have a smaller footprint which makes them better suited to a wider range of installation locations.
While air-cooled chillers may not always be the most energy-efficient option, they are much more environmentally friendly due to a significantly lower refrigerant charge. This is advantageous as it reduces the potential for refrigerant leaks and the associated greenhouse gas emissions.
Making it easier for you to comply with environmental regulations and standards.
