Select condenser water tempera tures flow rate and primary pipe sizes. Chw systems also may be used for removing process or other heating loads. Coil control 3 way valves 2 way valves face and bypass dampers chiller plant design concepts parallel series and primary secondary or decoupled combined energy hybrid plants. Temperature and make cooling tower.

Select cooling tower type speed control option efficiency approach. Successful chw tes design strategies basis of design chilled water is normally stored at 39 f to 42 f in the storage tanks since this temperature range is directly compatible with conventional chillers. Design of chilled water storage systems stratified storage tanks estimating tank geometry tall slender tanks are preferred to optimize thermocline and minimize footprint where practical tank height should be greater than highest air vent in chilled water lines prevents drainback quick formula for tank sizing. Select chilled water temperatures flow rate and primary pipe sizes.
