冷水機組市場規模及預測

預計 2024 年冷水機組市場規模將達到 98.1 億美元，到 2031 年將達到 133 億美元，2024 年至 2031 年的複合年增長率為 3.88%。冷水機組是 HVAC（暖氣、通風和空調）系統中的關鍵組件。冷卻器是一種透過蒸氣壓縮或吸收冷卻循環從液體中去除熱量的裝置。然後，該冷卻液體通過熱交換器循環，以冷卻空氣或製程設備。冷水機組主要有兩種：蒸氣壓縮式冷水機組和吸收式冷水機組。蒸汽壓縮式製冷機使用機械壓縮機，而吸收式製冷機使用熱源來驅動冷凍循環，通常是水和溴化鋰等二次流體。冷水機組廣泛應用於工業和商業環境，為大型建築提供空調、為製造過程冷卻，並為各種應用提供冷卻水，包括塑膠射出成型、金屬電鍍以及食品和飲料加工。

冷水機組的主要部件包括蒸發器、壓縮機、冷凝器和膨脹閥。蒸發器從冷卻液中吸收熱量，壓縮機將冷媒泵入系統，冷凝器將吸收的熱量釋放出系統，膨脹閥控制流向蒸發器的冷媒流量。

冷水機組依其製冷能力進行評級，以每小時冷氣噸數或 BTU（英國熱量單位）為單位。效率通常以性能係數（COP）或能源效率比（EER）來衡量。更有效率的模型將降低能源消耗和營運成本。

冷卻器可以使用空氣、水或蒸發冷卻來去除冷媒中的熱量。風冷式冷水機組使用風扇將熱量散發到周圍空氣中，而水冷式冷水機組則使用來自冷卻水塔的水。蒸髮式冷水機組利用水的蒸發來提高冷卻效率。

Chillers Market size was valued at USD 9.81 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 13.3 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.88 % from 2024 to 2031. A chiller is a critical component in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. Chillers are devices designed to remove heat from a liquid through a vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycle. This cooled liquid is then circulated through heat exchangers to cool air or process equipment. There are two main types of chillers: vapor-compression chillers and absorption chillers. Vapor-compression chillers use mechanical compressors, while absorption chillers use a heat source to drive the refrigeration cycle, typically using water and a secondary fluid like lithium bromide. Chillers are widely used in industrial and commercial settings for air conditioning large buildings, cooling manufacturing processes, and providing cold water for various applications such as plastic injection molding, metal plating, and food and beverage processing.

Key components of a chiller include the evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve. The evaporator absorbs heat from the cool liquid, the compressor pumps the refrigerant through the system, the condenser releases absorbed heat outside the system, and the expansion valve controls the refrigerant flow into the evaporator.

Chillers are rated based on their cooling capacity, measured in tons of refrigeration or BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour. Efficiency is typically measured by the Coefficient of Performance (COP) or the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). Higher efficiency models reduce energy consumption and operational costs.

Chillers can use air, water, or evaporative cooling to remove heat from the refrigerant. Air-cooled chillers use fans to dissipate heat into the ambient air, while water-cooled chillers use water from a cooling tower. Evaporative chillers enhance cooling efficiency by using the evaporation of water.
