How to Reduce the Heat Load Inside a Chiller Plant

When dealing with electricity, nothing is 100% efficient. The energy losses associated with this inefficiency in most cases manifest itself as waste heat.

The single largest heat–generating component in chiller plants is often the chiller compressor motor. There are two types of chiller compressor motors, hermetic and nonhermetic. In a hermetically sealed chiller, the motor and compressor are both located within a common housing and are cooled by the refrigerant circuit within the chiller.
