Abstract
A modular chiller system includes a switching and pumping module, one or more drycooler modules, and one or more chiller modules. The switching and pumping module, the one or more drycooler modules, and the one or more chiller modules share same water, power, and signal interfaces. The cooling capacity of the modular chiller system may be increased by adding drycooler modules or chiller modules without additional hydraulic and electrical infrastructures.
Claims15
A modular chiller system comprising:
- a switching and pumping module;
- one or more drycooler modules;
- and
- one or more chiller modules,
- the switching and pumping module, the one or more drycooler modules, and the one or more chiller modules sharing same water interfaces, power interfaces, and signal interfaces, providing for cooling capacity of the modular chiller system to be increased by adding drycooler modules or chiller modules without additional hydraulic and electrical infrastructure, the water interfaces of the switching and pumping module providing for hydraulic connection to a first set of water interfaces of the one or more drycooler modules, the water interfaces of the switching and pumping module being identical to a second set of water interfaces of the one or more drycooler modules.
