How Do Mini Chillers Work?
01. Heat Exchange
The first stage of the mini chiller process is heat exchange, where equipment or processes are cooled using water or a refrigerant liquid in a series of tubes. This liquid then moves to the compressor to begin the cooling process.
02. Compression
The compressor is where the pressure of the refrigerant liquid is increased which also raises its temperature. This is an important stage as it prepares the refrigerant for the heat release that will take place in the next stage.
03. Condensation
In the evaporator, the high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant gas releases its heat to the outside environment which is normally water or air. As it releases its heat the refrigerant turns into a high-pressure liquid.
04. Expansion
Lastly, the liquid refrigerant passes through an expansion valve which reduces its pressure, allowing it to cool significantly. The refrigerant then passes back to the evaporator where it can absorb more heat, and the cycle begins again.

Mini Chiller Units: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three types of mini chillers?
The three types of mini chillers are air-cooled, water-cooled, and evaporative mini chillers. Air-cooled chillers use ambient air to dissipate heat, water-cooled chillers use water for cooling, and evaporative chillers use a combination of air and water for more efficient heat dissipation.
What is the most commonly used small chiller?
The most commonly used small chiller is the air-cooled mini chiller. Due to its simplicity, lower initial cost, and ease of installation, it is preferred for small commercial applications. It requires less maintenance compared to water-cooled systems.
Is a chiller the same as a cooler?
A chiller is not the same as a cooler. While both are used for cooling, a chiller removes heat from liquids, often for industrial or HVAC applications. A cooler typically refers to a device that keeps food and beverages cold, often using ice or refrigeration.
Do mini chillers use a lot of electricity?
Chillers can use a significant amount of electricity, especially in large-scale industrial or commercial applications. However, their energy consumption varies based on factors such as the type of chiller, efficiency ratings, and operational conditions. Our small chiller units are designed to be more energy-efficient, helping to reduce overall electricity usage.
