Failure Recovery

With all the varied approaches available to potential customers, it sometimes seems that the main idea gets lost. People purchase chilled-water plants to reliably produce chilled water to satisfy another need, such as comfort or process cooling. Therefore, when the plant operates there must be a process in place to recover from the failure of a chilled- or condenser-water pump, cooling tower, or chiller. Failure recovery should be integral to the chilled- water plant control system. Refer to Figure 57. If the control sequence tries to start Chiller 2 and its pump, but the pump has an electrical malfunction, the sequence should immediately lock out Chiller 2 and its pump. The control system should then automatically attempt to start Chiller 3 and its pump. At the same time, the control system should send a pump malfunction alarm to the system operator.
