  • This video guides you through the basic operation of a chiller, making use of animations, illustrations, 3D models and real world photographs to help build your understanding.
    This covers the basics of a centrifugal chiller in a typical office building. By the end you should be able to identify the main components and the main circuits of a chiller. There is a short test at the end also.

He passed in early January ‘22 and while I did a lot of his lab work I don’t have as much of a mechanical background and I really appreciate this because it helps me understand what I’m working with when I walk into a mechanical room.

    Well done. I am getting close to the end of a four decade (plus)career in water treatment. During that time I have always believed the representatives in this field should have a good grasp of Chiller Basics. I find the real mystery is trying to get guys to grasp how a liquid refrigerant at 90 degrees F leaving a condenser can cool Chilled Water to 42 degrees F. Very nice job,
