Chillers vs direct expansion

There are a few key differences between chillers and direct expansion (DX) systems that should be considered when selecting a cooling system for your facility. Chillers use a refrigerant to transfer heat from the water being cooled to the air around the chiller unit. DX systems use a direct expansion of refrigerant in the coils to transfer heat directly from the air to the refrigerant. Chillers are typically more energy efficient than DX systems and can provide a higher level of cooling capacity. Chillers also typically have a longer lifespan than DX systems. DX systems are typically less expensive to install than chillers and can be used in smaller spaces. DX systems also typically have a shorter lifespan than chillers. When selecting a cooling system for your facility, consider the energy efficiency, cooling capacity, lifespan, and cost of each system to decide which is best for your needs.

There are a few key differences between chillers and direct expansion (DX) systems that should be considered when selecting a cooling system for your facility. Chillers typically offer a more energy efficient and longer lasting solution, while DX systems are less expensive and can be used in smaller spaces. Consider the energy efficiency, cooling capacity, lifespan, and cost of each system to decide which is best for your needs.
