Comparison of a flooded and DX chiller in an air conditioning system.

Author(s) : PERERA P.

Type of article: Article

Summary

By mathematical models and simulation, the paper compares the annual power consumption for a water-cooled dual circuit DX chiller system operating on R22 with that of a comparable flooded chiller system providing chilled water for a medium size building in Melbourne. The paper reviews the main differences between dual circuit DX and flooded chillers and outlines the mathematical models used in the simulation. Following a comparison of power and consumption and cost for the two systems, the paper concludes that, in medium size air conditioning design, a flooded chiller system may be used to save on operating costs and is a strong alternative to a dual circuit DX chiller.
