Global Air-cooled Screw Chiller Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Air-cooled Screw Chiller market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,884 million in 2025 to US$ 2,200 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% from 2026 to 2032.

An air-cooled screw chiller is a type of refrigeration system that uses a screw compressor and ambient air as the cooling medium to remove heat from circulating water used in air conditioning or industrial processes. Unlike water-cooled systems, it dissipates heat directly into the atmosphere via air-cooled condenser coils and fans, eliminating the need for cooling towers and water pumps. Air-cooled screw chillers are valued for their relatively easy installation, lower infrastructure cost, and suitability in areas where water resources are limited or water treatment is costly. They are widely used in commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, data centers, and plastic processing, offering stable performance, high energy efficiency, and reduced maintenance due to their simplified system design.

The growth of the air-cooled screw chiller market is mainly due to the continuous demand for energy-saving, environmentally friendly and easy-to-install cooling solutions. With the accelerated urbanization process and the rapid expansion of commercial buildings, data centers and other facilities, users are increasingly favoring air-cooled units that do not require additional water resources, are easy to maintain and have strong adaptability. In addition, the application of frequency conversion technology and intelligent control has improved the energy efficiency and operational flexibility of the equipment, complying with the increasingly stringent energy consumption and environmental regulations of various countries, and promoting the continued growth of air-cooled screw chillers in the global market.
