I. Differences in Compressors: Water-Cooled Scroll Chillers vs. Water-Cooled Screw Chillers
1. Water-Cooled Scroll Chillers Use Scroll Compressors
Water-cooled scroll chillers primarily utilize scroll compressors.The internal mechanism consists of two intermeshing spiral discs: a fixed scroll and an orbiting (moving) scroll. During operation, the orbiting scroll moves eccentrically, continuously compressing the refrigerant gas until it reaches high pre...
