District cooling plants use many different components to provide chilled water and refrigeration to their districts. However, a district cooling system's major component is the package chiller, typically an electrically powered centrifugal chiller. This component allows a single- or multi-unit plant to serve an entire district, replacing less efficient multiple chillers that previously serviced one building.

The Package Chiller Fundamentals training course describes the purpose of district cooling and the package chiller. It briefly outlines the major components within this system. This online course discusses the various situation in which a package chiller may be used, including its advantages and disadvantages. This course includes:

• District cooling basics
• Major components
• Applications

Package Chiller Fundamentals is part of the Heating & Cooling Fundamentals training series.
