When both pumps are operating, the system receives 100 percent of design flow. 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 flow notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoChillers Piped in Series Series Configurationnotes Chilled-WaterSystem DesignEqual Set Points notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoStaggered Set Points notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoPrimary-SecondaryConfiguration Primary-SecondaryDecoupled ConfigurationChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoPrimary-SecondarySystem Rules notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoProduction Loop notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoManifolded Production Pumps notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoChilled-WaterSystem Design Distribution Loopperiod two notes Chilled-WaterSystem Designperiod two Primary-SecondarySystem RulesVarying Distribution Flow notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoMultiple Distribution Pumps notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoA 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 building notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoTertiary Pumping notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoDistribution Loop Characteristics notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twonotes Chilled-WaterSystem Designperiod two Primary-SecondarySystem RulesSystem Operation notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoDeficit Flow notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoExcess Flow notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoControl of Primary-SecondarySystem notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoTypes of Fluid Flow Meters Chilled-WaterSystem Designperiod two Pressure-basedTemperature-BasedCalculations notesChilled-WaterSystem Design period twoperiod three System VariationsSystem Variations period threeperiod three Fuel Choice OptionsSystem Variations absorption thermal storageChiller Efficiency Improvements System Variationsperiod three Low-FlowSystemsGreater Focus on System Efficiency Trend Toward Lower Flow Ratesnotes System VariationsLow-FlowSystems notesSystem Variations period threeVariable-Primary-FlowSystems notesSystem Variations period threeCritical VPF System Requirements notesSystem Variations period threePreferential Chiller Loading notesSystem Variations period threeSidestream Configuration notesSystem Variations period threeHeat-RecoveryChiller Heat Recoverynotes System VariationsHeat-RecoveryChiller Options notesSystem Variations period threeHeat-RecoveryChiller Efficiency notesSystem Variations period threeControl of a Heat-RecoveryChiller notesSystem Variations period threeAsymmetric Design notesSystem Variations period threeSwing Chiller notesSystem Variations period threenotes System Variationsperiod three Swing Chiller“Free” Cooling notesSystem Variations period threePlate-and-FrameHeat Exchanger notesSystem Variations period threeRefrigerant Migration notesSystem Variations period threeApplication Outside Range of Chiller notesSystem Variations period threeperiod four Chiller-PlantControlChiller-PlantControl period fourperiod four Chiller Controlsnotes Chiller-PlantControlWhat Is Important?

Although each system requires a complete analysis, there are some general principles that apply to most systems notesChiller-PlantControl period fourHeat Recovery preferentially-loaded heat-recoverychillernotes Chiller-PlantControlThe variable-primary-flowsystem, introduced in Period Three, is designed to operate with variable flow through the chiller evaporators. 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 ranges notesChiller-PlantControl period fourSystem Failure Recovery Failure Recovery and Contingency Planningnotes Chiller-PlantControlContingency Planning notesChiller-PlantControl period fourSystem Timers System TuningLoad-confirmationtimer Staging-intervaltimerUnload Before Start notesChiller-PlantControl period fourSoft Loading notesChiller-PlantControl period fourChilled-WaterSet Point Control notesChiller-PlantControl period fourSystem Optimization notesChiller-PlantControl period fourChilled Water Reset notesChiller-PlantControl period fourCondenser-WaterTemperature notesChiller-PlantControl period fourChiller-PlantControl Control of Condensing Pressureperiod four Operator Training and Support notesChiller-PlantControl period fourOperator Interface notesChiller-PlantControl period fourASHRAE Guideline Chiller-PlantControlperiod four chiller operating logperiod five ReviewReview period fiveperiod five Review—PeriodTwoParallel configuration Series configuration notesReview—PeriodThree Heat recovery Asymmetric designnotes ReviewReview—PeriodFour Chiller sequencing Failure recoveryContingency planning System tuning notesReview period fivenASHRAE Handbook – Refrigeration nASHRAE Handbook – Systems and EquipmentQuestions for Period QuizQuestions for Period 9Why does a variable-primary-flowVPF system require a bypass in the system?
