Summary

Placement of air-cooled chillers matters. For example, often for aesthetic reasons chillers are placed behind architectural screens or at locations invisible to pedestrians. However, this can restrict the flow of ambient air to these chillers. Further, performance of air-cooled condensers can degrade under high ambient temperatures and windy conditions due to recirculation of the hot discharge plumes from the condenser fans back into the chiller air intakes.
