Water-Cooled Package Unit: The High-Capacity HVAC Solution That Doesn’t Require Outdoor Space

When outdoor space is a luxury you can’t afford, water-cooled technology opens up a world of possibilities for air conditioning in large buildings, industrial plants, and commercial spaces. Confortfresh’s Water-Cooled Package Unit redefines what a compact system can achieve: up to 240,000 BTU/h (20 Tons of Refrigeration) of capacity, with ceiling or suspended installation, without requiring any outdoor area.

If your project demands power, efficiency, and a discreet installation, this is the system you’ve been looking for.

What Is a Water-Cooled Package Unit?

Unlike conventional air conditioning systems that reject heat to the outdoor environment through an air-cooled condenser, water-cooled package units use water as the medium for heat dissipation. This makes them the ideal solution for buildings where there is no available outdoor space for a condensing unit, or where minimizing acoustic and visual impact is essential.

The heat extracted from the conditioned space is transferred to a water circuit, which is then cooled by a cooling tower located outside. This cycle allows for higher energy efficiency compared to equivalent air-cooled systems, especially in hot and humid climates.

Confortfresh designs these units with compact forms and premium materials to ensure optimal performance with maximum energy efficiency.

Key Technical Specifications

The Confortfresh water-cooled package unit is available in capacities of up to 240,000 BTU/h (20 TR), offering high cooling power in a surprisingly compact format. Its main technical features include:

  • Capacity: Up to 240,000 BTU/h (20 Tons of Refrigeration)
  • Airflow: 400 CFM per ton of refrigeration
  • Heat exchangers: Tube-in-tube type, made of durable copper steel
  • Evaporator coils: Fin type, with copper and aluminum tubing, coated with Bluefin for anti-corrosion protection
  • Construction: Compact design with high-durability materials, suitable for suspended ceiling or plenum installation

Benefits of the Confortfresh Water-Cooled Package Unit

  • ✅ No outdoor space required: Can be installed suspended from the ceiling or within the plenum, without needing an outdoor area for the condenser.
  • ✅ Efficient water-based condensation: Uses water as the condensing medium, achieving higher energy performance compared to equivalent air systems.
  • ✅ Ultra-quiet operation: Designed for environments where noise is critical, such as offices, hotels, hospitals, or meeting rooms.
  • ✅ Compact, low-profile system: Its reduced size facilitates installation in space-constrained projects without sacrificing power.
  • ✅ Optimized airflow: Handles 400 CFM per ton, ensuring uniform air distribution throughout the conditioned space.
  • ✅ Copper tube-in-tube heat exchangers: High heat transfer with extended durability and minimal maintenance.
  • ✅ Bluefin-coated coils: Advanced anti-corrosion protection that extends equipment lifespan in aggressive or coastal environments.
  • ✅ High energy efficiency: Engineered to deliver maximum cooling performance with minimal power consumption.
  • ✅ Easy installation: Designed to streamline commissioning and reduce labor costs.

Where Can This Equipment Be Installed?

One of the most practical advantages of water-cooled package units is their compatibility with facilities that already have a cooling tower. If your building or plant includes this heat rejection system, you can directly integrate the Confortfresh unit into the existing circuit, optimizing investment and reducing installation time.

If you’re developing a project that requires efficient cooling without relying on outdoor space, Confortfresh’s Water-Cooled Package Unit is the most technically and economically intelligent solution on the market.
