Performance of a building's or group of buildings' Chilled Water System is typically representative of the interrelationships of the many and various components that make up each system. Whether a particular system is supplying chilled water for comfort only, for industrial or laboratory process only or for both, the interaction of thermal and hydraulic factors are critical. The ability of each system to achieve design capacity, and meet the chilled water needs of a system's users, in as cost efficient manor as possible, requires intelligent chiller selection, piping, pumping and coil design and good measurement of temperature and pressure readings during operation, as well as skilled mechanics capable of interpreting this information and making appropriate adjustments accordingly. This session will explore some of the ways this can be accomplished.
