Chilled water is a critical utility in process industries for temperature control. It is used to remove excess heat from processes, maintaining optimal operating conditions. The chilled water circulates in a closed loop, transferring the absorbed heat to chillers, which then discharge the heat into the environment.
The Industry Economics & Competitiveness program tracks monthly chilled water costs across 33 countries, on a comparable basis — alongside the other costs, prices, and competitiveness indicators it follows for every country.
