Summary

ON-SITE TESTING OF ANY WATER CHILLER SYSTEM WITH WATER-COOLED CONDENSERS REQUIRES ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF WATER TEMPERATURE AND FLOW RATE. IN THE PAST IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO TAKE SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENTS AT STEADY STATE CONDITIONS TO PRODUCE AN AUTHENTIC ENERGY BALANCE. THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE METHODS OF CALIBRATING SENSITIVE SENSORS FOR TEMPERATURE AND FLOW, THAT CAN BE INSTALLED AND REMOVED FROM PIPELINES WITHOUT PLANT SHUTDOWN, AND LINKING THEM TO A COMPUTER FOR SIMULTANEOUS READING AND CALCULATION. A SYSTEM OF RESULT STACKING CAN BE USED TO ESTABLISH STEADY STATE CONDITIONS. ALSO INCLUDED ARE THREE CASES WHERE SUCH TESTING UNCOVERED SERIOUS PLANT FAULTS D. W. H.
