Numerical Investigation of Water Flow Dynamics in a Water Cooled Chiller Used in a Office Area

Water-cooled chillers play a vital function in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, providing effective cooling solutions for air conditioning, refrigeration, and process cooling. The effective management of water flow dynamics inside these chillers' heat exchange systems is required for proper operation. The goal of this work is to do a detailed numerical analysis of water flow dynamics in water-cooled chillers in order to maximize their performance and energy efficiency. The key goals of this work are to model the fluid flow, heat transfer, and pressure drop characteristics in the chillers’ heat exchangers, as well as to examine the impact of various design parameters on chillers performance, such as tube geometries, flow rates, and refrigerant qualities. The investigation is performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The results were analysed by using curves and bar diagrams. In essence, the goal of this work is to expand our understanding of water flow dynamics in water-cooled chillers by numerical analysis, ultimately leading to more efficient and sustainable cooling solutions in a variety of industrial and commercial contexts.
