When only one pump is operating, the intersection of the pump’s performance curve with the system curve results in about 65 percent of design flownotes period twonotes Chillers Piped in SeriesSeries Configuration Chilled-WaterSystem DesignChilled-WaterSystem Design Equal Set Pointsnotes period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Staggered Set Pointsnotes period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Primary-SecondaryConfigurationPrimary-SecondaryDecoupled Configuration period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Primary-SecondarySystem Rulesnotes period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Production Loopnotes period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Manifolded Production Pumpsnotes period twoDistribution Loop Chilled-WaterSystem Designperiod two period two notesChilled-WaterSystem Design Primary-SecondarySystem RulesChilled-WaterSystem Design Varying Distribution Flownotes period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Multiple Distribution Pumpsnotes period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design A variation of the multiple-pumpconfiguration is to use separate pumps to deliver water to specific, dedicated loads. An example is a chilled-watersystem serving a college campus. Separate distribution pumps supply water to the east A, west B, and central C portions of the campus. A primary advantage of this configuration is flexibility. Expanding the system can be achieved by simply adding another distribution pump to the existing plant and connecting it to the piping that runs to the new buildingnotes period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Tertiary Pumpingnotes period twonotes Distribution Loop CharacteristicsHigher return-watertemperatures Chilled-WaterSystem Designperiod two notesChilled-WaterSystem Design Primary-SecondarySystem RulesChilled-WaterSystem Design System Operationnotes period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Deficit Flownotes period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Excess Flownotes period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Control of Primary-SecondarySystemnotes period twoperiod two Types of Fluid Flow MetersChilled-WaterSystem Design Pressure-basedChilled-WaterSystem Design Temperature-BasedCalculationsnotes period twoSystem Variations period threeSystem Variations period threeSystem Variations period threeFuel Choice Options absorption thermal storageperiod three Chiller Efficiency ImprovementsSystem Variations Low-FlowSystemsnotes Greater Focus on System EfficiencyTrend Toward Lower Flow Rates System VariationsSystem Variations Low-FlowSystemsnotes period threeSystem Variations Variable-Primary-FlowSystemsnotes period threeSystem Variations Critical VPF System Requirementsnotes period threeSystem Variations Preferential Chiller Loadingnotes period threeSystem Variations Sidestream Configurationnotes period threenotes Heat-RecoveryChillerHeat Recovery System VariationsSystem Variations Heat-RecoveryChiller Optionsnotes period threeSystem Variations Heat-RecoveryChiller Efficiencynotes period threeSystem Variations Control of a Heat-RecoveryChillernotes period threeSystem Variations Asymmetric Designnotes period threeSystem Variations Swing Chillernotes period threeperiod three notesSystem Variations Swing ChillerSystem Variations “Free” Coolingnotes period threeSystem Variations Plate-and-FrameHeat Exchangernotes period threeSystem Variations Refrigerant Migrationnotes period threeSystem Variations Application Outside Range of Chillernotes period threeChiller-PlantControl period fourChiller-PlantControl period fourStart–stop Chilled-watertemperature control period fourChiller Controls notesHow to recover from an equipment failure What Is Important?When to turn a chiller on or off How to optimize system efficiencyChiller-PlantControl Chiller Sequencingnotes period fourChiller-PlantControl Temperaturenotes period fourChiller-PlantControl Flownotes period fourChiller-PlantControl Capacitynotes period fourChiller-PlantControl Chiller Rotationnotes period fourChiller-PlantControl When the system consists of chillers with different capacities, efficiencies, or fuel types, the question of which chiller to turn on or off next becomes more complex.

Sequencing chillers in this type of system cannot be based solely on temperature, because in a properly-operatingsystem the supply- and return-watertemperatures will be nearly constant. Determining when to turn chillers on or off is not a simple task. For control stability and chiller reliability, the flow rates through the chillers, and the rate of flow change, must be kept within allowable rangesnotes period fournotes System Failure RecoveryFailure Recovery and Contingency Planning Chiller-PlantControlChiller-PlantControl Contingency Planningnotes period fourLoad-confirmationtimer System TimersSystem Tuning Staging-intervaltimerChiller-PlantControl Unload Before Startnotes period fourChiller-PlantControl Soft Loadingnotes period fourChiller-PlantControl Chilled-WaterSet Point Controlnotes period fourChiller-PlantControl System Optimizationnotes period fourChiller-PlantControl Chilled Water Resetnotes period fourChiller-PlantControl Condenser-WaterTemperaturenotes period fourControl of Condensing Pressure Chiller-PlantControlperiod four Chiller-PlantControl Operator Training and Supportnotes period fourChiller-PlantControl Operator Interfacenotes period fourChiller-PlantControl ASHRAE Guidelinenotes period fourReview period fiveReview period fiveParallel configuration Series configuration period fiveReview—PeriodTwo notesnotes Review—PeriodThreeHeat recovery Asymmetric design ReviewContingency planning System tuning Review—PeriodFourChiller sequencing Failure recovery notesnASHRAE Handbook – Refrigeration Reviewperiod five nASHRAE Handbook – Systems and EquipmentQuiz Questions for PeriodQuestions for Period Questions for Period 9Why does a variable-primary-flowVPF system require a bypass in the system?Quiz Questions for PeriodAnswers Answers 12Sequencing 13Decreases; increasesGlossary Glossary decoupled system See primary-secondarysystemGlossary notes Glossaryswing chiller A smaller-capacitychiller used in a multiple-chillersystem.
