Many people assume that if a system uses water-based coolant, it must be “water-cooled.” That’s not the case.

Here’s the key distinction:
Water-Cooled Chillers
– Use a secondary water loop (cooling tower) to reject heat
– More efficient for high-capacity applications
– Common in semiconductors, large-scale production
 Air-Cooled Chillers
– Reject heat directly into ambient air using condenser fans
– Easier to install, lower maintenance
– Ideal for labs, small facilities, or where water supply is limited

As a company with more than 20 years of experience in design, R&D, production and sales in the field of temperature control, Beijing WIIP, we help customers choose the right cooling system based on actual usage — not just specifications.
