- Compressor cooling is the common cooling method used in refrigerators, chillers, and water coolers/dispensers.
- It works by introducing drinking water to a colder environment which simply sucks out heat from your water.
- Compressor cooling uses refrigerants which are special chemicals that provide a cooling effect.
- Once the water cooler is switched on, the compressor starts by compressing the refrigerant making it turn into hot vapor.
- The hot vapor is then cooled through a condenser before being expelled through an evaporator.
- The cold vapor extracts heat from the drinking water in the storage tank making it cold.
- Compressor cooling is more effective at cooling than thermoelectric cooling.
- It is, however, less environmentally friendly because of the refrigerants used.
