Typically you’ll find that smaller air coolers use condensers cooled by air, while larger units are almost always water cooled. AC window units, or portable ACs, are always powered by air because of the installation convenience and portability.
However, due to technological advancements, larger installations with air cooling are starting to be developed and implemented.
At the same time, portable water coolers have become a reality as well. So it’s really up to the situation and home owner’s preference as to which solution they’d like to implement.
The decision regarding your home’s unit and whether it should be cooled by water or air is up to your home, budget, and needs. An HVAC specialist can help you decide which system is most efficient, in terms of installation costs, running costs, and maintenance.
While it is possible to cool your entire home with an air cooled chiller connected to the current HVAC duct system, it’s not usually something that we recommend for the average home’s needs.
So whether you’re looking to cool a few rooms on an upper level, or you’re looking at cooling your entire home, we can help find the best cooling solution possible.
Air Cooled Versus Water Cooled System Specs
Air cooled systems remove heat from the unit by pushing it into the air. This hot air can be pushed out directly into the outdoors with units that are outside the home, such as window units.
However, if the unit is inside then the hot air will need an exhaust duct or fan that leads outdoors. An air cooled unit will also push out cold supply air into the room to cool it even more.
Since air cooled systems don’t need a water source, they can be installed anywhere in the home within minutes, not hours. Air cooled units can also be moved around the home without any concern for water sources.
