Based on the indirect evaporative cooling technique, designs the high temperature water chiller whose driving force is not electric power but the dry air outdoor. Theoretically the  outlet water temperature of the chiller can be infinitely close to the dew point temperature of the inlet air. Establishes the mathematical model and presents the chilled water series flow route to take advantage of dry air as much as possible. Develops the first indirect evaporative chiller by cooperating with an company and conducts its performance. Finally analyses applicability of the chiller as the cold source of the humidity independent control air conditioning system in west and other districts of China.
