Is a chiller the same as an air conditioner?

No, they are not the same. A chiller removes heat from a liquid to cool industrial equipment or processes, while an air conditioner cools and dehumidifies air for comfort spaces.

Can I use an air conditioner instead of a chiller in a factory?

Not effectively. Air conditioners are designed for air cooling, not process cooling. Factories need chillers to handle heavy heat loads, precise temperatures, and continuous operation.

Are chillers more expensive than air conditioners?

Yes, chillers usually cost more because they are built for industrial-scale loads, tighter control, and 24-hour performance. They also require more complex components like compressors and heat exchangers.

Are chillers better than AC?

Neither is universally better. A chiller is better for process cooling or large facilities, while an AC suits small areas or comfort cooling. The best choice depends on the application and cooling demand.

Is a chiller considered HVAC?

Yes. A chiller is part of an HVAC system. It handles the “cooling” part by producing chilled water that air handlers or fan coils use to cool indoor spaces.
