Chiller Management System visualisation and analysis
The Chiller Management System (CMS) visualisation and analysis manual provides a resource for engineers that want to provide best-in-class chiller management system visualisation and analysis.
System Pressure Control (Part 3)
This is the final video in a 3 part series on the design of the system pressure transmitter.
System Pressure Control (Part 2)
This is the 2nd video in a 3 part series on the design of the system pressure transmitter. In part 2 we look at three things to consider if the transmitter is installed far away from the chiller plant room.
System Pressure Control (Part 1)
This is the 1st in a 3 part series on the design of the system pressure transmitter. In part 1 we look at the installation location, and how appropriate the 3/4 rule is.
Can you Control Water through a Coil with a Butterfly Valve? Maybe
This was a big surprise to me a couple of weeks ago. I was looking for an equal percentage modified characteristic curve and I stumbled onto the characteristic for a butterfly valve. Very interesting
Staging Chillers on Return Water Temperature - It Doesn't Work
Well, you can stage on return water temperature if energy efficiency is not a priority.
Chiller Bypass Control
This is the 3rd and final part in the series on chiller minimum flow control, or bypass control. Hopefully this will be the end of primary only pumping chillers tripping on low flow :-)
Chiller Evaporator Pressure Sensor Selection
In this 2nd part to the Chiller Minimum Flow Control series we look at pressure sensor selection as is occasionally can cause bypass control issues.
Chiller Minimum Flow Control
This is the first in a series of 3 videos discussing chiller minimum flow control. Chillers occasionally tripping on low water flow is an issue I come across on most primary only pumps systems. This video focuses on explaining why the primary pump modulates to control system pressure and not the minimum flow through the chiller.
Condenser water temperature reset, does it save energy?
Most energy efficient controls strategies if not properly understood and tuned can waste energy.
Chilled water temperature reset, does it save energy?
Sometimes energy efficient control strategies can end up wasting energy rather than saving energy.
2-Port Valve Characteristic - Equal Percentage
Did you ever wonder what can cause a control valve to hunt?
Control Valve Authority 2-Port vs 3-Port
The valve authority equation for 2-port and 3-port control valves is completely different. However, we are still sizing 2-port control valves using the 3-port method, which does not work.
