Chiller Plant Chilled Water System Diagram
It enters the air handling unit cools the air in cooling coil absorbs the heat and returns back to the plant room to get.
Chiller plant chilled water system diagram. If the water flows along tube side and the refrigerant along the shell side it is called as the flooded chiller. At the heart of the water chilled system a chiller removes heat from water by means of a refrigeration cycle. This cool fluid removes heat from the process and the warm fluid returns to the chiller. However the purpose of a chiller remains the same.
Chilled water schematic and condenser water schematic how to read and understand the engineering drawings with real world examples illustrations animations and video tutorial. How a chiller works. How does a chiller work. Chilled water plant system diagram exercise this is an updated version of an exercise i originally published on the blog back in september of 2013.
This means not only the delivered capacity of the chillers is reduced but also. The water chilled in the chiller is pumped to various parts of the building that are to be air conditioned. To remove heat from water. The evaporator of the chiller is where the chilled water is generated.
The plant operators turn on extra chillers and associated pumps to provide the needed capacity. Covering chillers pump sets ahus risers primary and secondary systems cooling towers and bypass lines. In most process cooling applications a pumping system circulates cool water or a water glycol solution from the chiller to the process. A chilled water system is a cooling system in which chilled water is circulated throughout.
Process fluids typically water or a water glycol mix are used to cool machinery equipment food etc. The process fluid absorbs heat from what is being cooled and then goes through the chiller where the heat is removed from the fluid and transferred to the. To put it simply industrial chillers cool process fluids. Chilled water system basics.
The process water is the means by which heat transfers from the process to the chiller. I posted it to provide an on line version of an exercise i had done in class which was the first time i had tried using a sketchup model as a teaching aid. System flow below chiller min flow 250 gpm variable primary flow at 25 system load two way valves control capacity by varying flow of water in coils per chiller system load 50 tons 176kw 50tons 176 kw primary bypass flow 250 gpm 95 l s 150 gpm 9 5 l s delta t 12 of 6 7 oc 100 gpm 44 ºf 6 3 l s 6 7 ºc 56 ºf 13 3 ºc 150.
