Air Conditioning Condenser Attachment for High Efficiency Liquid Chillers

摘要

Provided herein are high-efficiency liquid chiller systems and related methods for efficient climate control of a room environment. A split-system air conditioning (AC) unit is connected to a liquid chiller positioned within an enclosure and adjacent to the AC unit. Refrigerant from the AC unit is used to cool a liquid via a heat exchanger positioned in the enclosure. The cooled liquid is, in turn, supplied to a downstream cooling application. In a closed-loop manner, warmed refrigerant is returned to the AC unit for cooling and warmed liquid returned to the heat exchanger for cooling in the heat exchanger. A reservoir in thermal contact with the cooled liquid may be used as a source of chilled liquid for any number of various cooling applications, including via air handlers positioned in distinct locations.
