There are two possible answers to this question, both pertinent.

Water Chillers could refer to a water-based cooling system, where the water interfaces with each piece of server hardware (i.e. "water cooled PCs"). There are also types of A/C units which could be used to cool the entire data center known as water chillers.

In terms of A/C units, that would be specific to your data center - this depends on building construction, technology and location. They are typically used where the hot air generated by the A/C units is not favorable and the use of water is more appropriate. An on-site assessment by a qualified HVAC contractor would be your best answer to this - it will depend heavily on your specific situation.

In terms of direct water-based cooling systems, there is no absolute answer. I have read about data centers using water-cooled systems, but they are expensive, prone to leakage and likely based on older, less-efficient technologies. Data centers which cool the air around the hardware allow you to use more standardized hardware and eliminate the concerns with coolant leakage and maintenance of that system. In the end, I would suggest that you look at the design with a more traditional approach and consider a water-chilled system only if there are large limitations specific to your needs that a traditional air-cooled data center cannot address.
