1. A direct contact air chilling system, comprising:
a direct contact air chiller configured to cool air flowing therethrough, the direct contact air chiller comprising:
a first plurality of sheets configured to receive chilled water from a supply pipe;
a second plurality of sheets configured to receive the chilled water from the first plurality of sheets after passing through the first plurality of sheets;
a water basin disposed between the first plurality of sheets and the second plurality of sheets such that the first plurality of sheets are located above the water basin and the second plurality of sheets are located below the water basin, the water basin configured to collect the chilled water after passing through the first plurality of sheets and distribute the chilled water to the second plurality of sheets; and

a water chiller unit comprising a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser, the water chiller unit configured and arranged to supply the chilled water to the direct contact air chiller through the supply pipe,
wherein as the chilled water flows substantially parallel to the first and second plurality of sheets, the chilled water comes in direct contact with the air flowing through the direct contact chiller to cool said air.
