So What?

  • When the load on the coil is zero, the valve is returning “unused”

chilled water at essentially supply temperature.

  • Cold return water “unloads” the chillers, causing them to operate

inefficiently.

– Chiller staging at half of this flow is common

  • Head loss in common <1 1/2 ft

– Distribution pipe size is often used where reductions would be inconvenient

  • Three pipe diameters between tees

– Excessive length increases total head loss

  • Low velocities in system piping

“Loading” a Chiller

  • A chiller is a heat transfer device. Like most equipment, it is

most efficient at full load.

  • To “load” a chiller means:

– Supply it with its rated flow of water – Insure that water is warm enough to permit removal of rated Btu without freezing the water

COMMERCIAL BUILDING SERVICES

FLOW THINKING

What else can we do? Reset Supply Temperature

  • Lower chiller set point when mixing occurs to maintain a constant

temperature to the system.

  • Expect increases in cost of chiller operation at lower set point: 1-3% per

degree of reset.

  • Delays start of the next chiller.
slide-52
SLIDE 52

COMMERCIAL BUILDING SERVICES

FLOW THINKING

What else can we do?

  • Coils that are selected at higher supply temperatures will not be

impaired by small changes.

  • Loads that require fixed temperatures may use a small chiller to

reverse the effects of mixing.

Basic Law which helps in achieving this – Affinity law

  • 1. Flow2 = Flow1(Speed2/ Speed1)
  • 2. Head2 = Head1(Speed2/ Speed1)2
  • 3. BKW2 = BKW1(Speed2/ Speed1)3

If Diameter of Impeller is to be trimmed then instead of speed the same can be used in above formulas.

slide-90
SLIDE 90

COMMERCIAL BUILDING SERVICES

FLOW THINKING

Single Point Pressure Sensor Is Single Point Pressure Sensor Correct? Wrong !! Why?

  • Pump is a differential pressure device.
  • A single point is only influence by pressure. This is good for booster only.
  • In a closed loop system, system pressure rises due to thermal expansion,

pumps will slow down.

  • When static pressure decrease, pumps will speed up.
  • This is self-defeating since now the pump speed is not influence by the

system load changes, but rather by system water pressure.

  • Therefore, single pressure sensor are a misapplication in a closed loop

HVAC system.

  • Zone set points do not have to be the same.
  • Pump controller scans all zones often, comparing process

variable to set point in each case.
