Centrifugal Chiller Services
Commercial chillers are an essential part of your commercial building. Whether you’re using a water-cooled system for a cooling tower or an air-cooled chiller for refrigeration, we can help. If your chiller is not working properly or you need maintenance on any part of it, you can rely on First Response to keep your air—or water-cooled chiller working efficiently.
How Centrifugal Chillers Work
Most chillers that utilize centrifugal compressors are water-cooled chillers. It is exceedingly rare to find an air-cooled chiller that uses a centrifugal compressor. A centrifugal chiller is composed of one or two rotating impellers. These compress the refrigerant and force the refrigerant through the chiller system. Centrifugal chillers are an industry favorite because they have very few moving parts, making them more reliable and easier to repair if something goes wrong.
Here at First Response, we offer top-quality chiller installation services. Our team of experts will evaluate your property and recommend the best and most efficient option to cool down your space. We guarantee our work and will manage any repairs you need in the future.
Chiller installation can be tricky, so it is important to find a reputable and experienced HVAC company to complete the job.
Types of Chillers
Several subcategories of industrial chillers serve different purposes for businesses. They include:
Reciprocating Compressors: These use pistons that pump a minimal amount of refrigerant at extremely high pressures. They are one of the easiest-to-service chillers.
Screw Compressors: Two screws that are housed in a stationary unit fit together. As the unit rotates, gas is compressed by the volume reduction between the rotors. These compressors are hermetically sealed and, therefore, can be serviced.
Centrifugal Compressors: The industry favorite, centrifugal compressors have few moving parts and are very efficient. They are ideally suited for high-volume, low-pressure requirements such as fans or AC units.
First Response licensed technicians have experience working with various commercial HVAC equipment, such as rooftop units or commercial-grade boiler systems. We recognize how significant a fast response is regarding your workers’ and commercial property’s health and safety.
