Total air cooled system just uses outside air to accept the heat removed from the room by the refrigeration system. The outside coil is called the condenser, and the inside coil is called the evaporator. They are called this because the refrigerant in the system "evaporates" in the inside coil when it draws heat from the room, and "condenses" in the outside coil when it releases the heat to the outside air.
Water-cooled can be several types. One is to replace the outside condenser with a circulating water condenser. This unit is much more efficient but requires water flow. Another way to water cool is to use a refrigerant system to cool water like a water cooler does, then circulate that cooled water thru the house. Another water cooled system is simply evaporating water in a warm air stream like a fountain cools the air near it. This type of cooling system only works where the humidity is very low because to cool you must get fast evaporation. Works well in desert areas where humidity is below 25%

A standard air conditioning system circulates freon and uses air from the outside to cool the freon after compressing. Think of your typical home system. This type system usually works well for supplying a small number of air handlers (evaporators). If you get into larger systems with many air handlers, it is typical to switch to water cooled systems. In a typical water cooled system, the freon is contained within a unit called a chiller. It has two seperate water loops. On the cooling side, the freon cools the water to around 40 degrees F. Usually a seperate set of pumps then circulate this cold water to the air handlers. A second water loop exchanges the heat from compressing the freon and usually circulates to an outside cooling tower, where the falling water releases it's heat to the atmosphere.

One uses water to absorb heat from air in the rooms being cooled, other uses air to absorb that heat.

the first one takes off the heat from the air in the room and lets the heat out and the other one gives the coldness from the water to the air in the room
That's it!!!!!!
