Introducing a Free Cooler to your chiller systems can significantly reduce both your energy bills and carbon footprint. Whether integrated into new chiller systems or retrofitted to existing ones, free cooling technology provides an exceptionally efficient and cost-effective solution for lowering energy consumption and operational expenses. The return on investment is impressive, with payback often achieved in less than 12 months!
Water chiller systems are designed to maintain a constant water temperature during summer months, relying on a high-energy-consuming compressor to achieve this. However, as ambient temperatures in the UK are generally much cooler for most of the year, chillers are often oversized and operate inefficiently for 70-80% of the time. A Free Cooler will automatically dissipate the system’s heat, allowing the more energy-intensive chiller to switch off.
By retrofitting a Free Cooler to an existing chiller system, substantial energy savings can be made on running costs. The return on investment is remarkable, with payback from energy savings typically realised in as little as 6-12 months.
