CHILLER PIPING AND BOILER PIPING
Chiller piping circulates chilled water for cooling, creating a closed loop to absorb heat from buildings/processes, while boiler piping delivers hot water or steam for heating, also in loops, with key differences in fluid (cold vs. hot), temperature (e.g., 44°F vs. 180°F+), components (chiller vs. boiler), and design goals (cooling efficiency vs. heating capacity). Both systems use pumps, valves, and pipe networks (steel, copper) but manage vastly different thermal loads and fluid behaviors, requiring specific insulation, pressure control, and flow balancing for optimal performance and energy efficiency.
