Same as aircons, with water in place of air.

In AC Air is the primary heat moving medium with the refrigerant as the main heat relocating medium.

In a Chiller AC there are three stages of heat moving: 1 The air inside the conditioned space; 2 The water that transports the removed heat to a central location; 3 The refrigerant as the final phase.

Same gig just an added transport medium between the air and refrigerant.

One reason of doing this is plumbing water through out a large building is cheaper then ducting or refrigerant lines. It is all so safer in even of massive leak as all that will come out is cold water, It will help keep the total charge down as well.

Cons are of course a slightly more complex system, with added pumps and a more robust plant design being needed to cover the additional load the pumps will induce.
