 Define Chillers

"Chillers are mechanical devices used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to remove heat from a liquid via a vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycle.

 ┃ Uses of Chillers in HVAC:

1. Commercial Buildings: Used to cool large spaces like office buildings, hotels, and shopping malls through centralized air conditioning systems.
2. Industrial Applications: Provide cooling for manufacturing processes, particularly where large amounts of heat are generated.
3. Data Centers: Essential for maintaining optimal temperatures for servers and electronic equipment, preventing overheating and ensuring reliability.
4. Hospitality: Used in hotels and resorts to keep guest rooms and common areas comfortable.
5. Food and Beverage: In places requiring precise temperature control, such as food processing and storage facilities.
6. Refrigeration Systems: Chillers can be part of a larger refrigeration system in places like supermarkets or warehouses.

 ┃ Summary:

Chillers play a key role in maintaining comfortable indoor environments and enabling industrial processes by efficiently removing heat. Their versatility and efficiency make them a critical component of many HVAC systems."
