Application Considerations

Several considerations must be addressed when applying centrifugal water

chillers, including:

■Condensing temperature control

■Constant or variable evaporator-water flow

■Short evaporator-water loops

■Heat recovery

■Free cooling

■Equipment certification standards

While not all-inclusive, this list of considerations does represent some of the

key issues.
