Summary

Very often selection programs find variable speed centrifugal chillers to be less cost effective than constant speed chillers. This has made uncertain the future of variable speed in centrifugal chiller plants. However, plants with variable speed chillers can operate much more efficiently than constant speed plants, but only if operating strategies are incorporated that are tailored specifically to these chillers' unique performance characteristics.
