ShareControlling chillers in variable flow systems.
Author(s) : AVERY G.
Type of article: Article
Summary
This article presents a case study of an actual system that was not optimized to peak efficiency and discusses the changes made to improve its performance. Generally, it is more efficient to operate the minimum number of chillers that will handle the load; even though the part load chiller efficiency may increase by using more chillers.
