While chilled water systems are highly effective, some businesses might consider alternatives based on specific needs and constraints. Alternatives include:
- Direct Expansion (DX) Systems: Suitable for smaller spaces or where initial investment costs need to be minimized. - Evaporative Cooling: Efficient in dry climates but less effective in humid environments. - Geothermal Cooling: Leveraging the earth's stable temperatures can be highly efficient but involves significant installation costs.
