Type of article: Article

Summary

CONDENSER WATER FLOW RATE IS OFTEN CHOSEN ARBITRARILY. THE AUTHOR INVESTIGATED VARIATIONS FOR A 210 KILOWATT RECIPROCATING WATER CHILLER AND A 1.050 KILOWATT CENTRIFUGAL WATER CHILLER. LARGER WATER FLOWS REQUIRE LARGER COOLING TOWERS AND INCREASED PUMP SIZE AND PIPING. THE EFFECT OF DECREASED COMPRESSOR ENERGY WAS OFFSET ALMOST EXACTLY BY INCREASED PUMP AND TOWER ENERGY THE LIFE-CYCLE TOTAL COST THEREFORE INCREASED WITH INCREASED WATER FLOW. D.W.H.
