Thermosyphon - Free Cooling
Smardt Chiller with Thermosyphon
Definition
• Free Cooling = chilled water production without compressor by low ambient temperature

Advantages of Thermosyphon
Lower investment • No separate dry cooler system • No additional water pipes and pumps needed • Smaller footprint
Reduced power consumption/ Environment-friendly
• No loss of efficiency by heat transfer (heat exchanger glycol/water)
• No additional free cooling pumps• Lower sound pressure
