Summary
A MANUFACTURING FACILITY IN CALIFORNIA HAS EIGHT BUILDINGS ON ONE SITE. ORIGINALLY EACH HAD ITS OWN CHILLED WATER PLANT AND COOLING SYSTEM.

WATER FLOW HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO VARY THROUGH THE USE OF 2-WAY, RATHER THAN 3-WAY, CONTROL VALVES, AND ONE CHILLER NOW SUFFICES FOR LOW LOAD OPERATION FOR ALL BUILDINGS, INSTEAD OF THE EIGHT CHILLERS ON LOW CAPACITY. RESULTANT SAVINGS GIVE A PAYBACK OF APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS. D.W.H.
