Forced-air towers use more fan energy then induced-air towers. Evaporation rate = 0.30% to 0.75%. Evaporated water qualifies for sewer exemption.

45 F chilled water from the active chiller combined with 55 F water from the inactive chiller to create 50 F supply water. Installing isolation valves: 1) enabled chilled water leaving temperature to be increased from 45 F to 50 F 2) decreased pumping energy Savings = 163,000 kWh/yr (16% reduction of total pump and chiller energy)
Chilled Water Leaving Temp
Savings = 52,619 kWh/yr (51% reduction of pump energy use)
Time Series
Chiller and Pumping Power
300-ton constant speed chiller operates when Toa < 65 F 500-ton variable-speed chiller operates when Toa > 65 F. Variable speed chiller is more efficient at part load. Stage chillers based on load rather than outdoor air temperature. Savings = 81,000 kWh/yr (14% reduction of chiller energy usage)
kW/ton vs Load
Condenser water supply temperature set at 85°F and run only one tower with each chiller Chiller spec sheets indicated coldest allowable condenser water supply temperature is 65°F. Reset cooling tower supply temperatures to 65 F and run both cooling towers Savings = 45% reduction of chiller plus fan energy usage
