Finding the holy grail of centrifugal chiller optimization for all operating conditions is hard, if not impossible. This article will talk about the requirements of most chiller systems and means of control for condenser optimization.

Famous mathematician Edward Lorenz coined the phrase “The Butterfly Effect,” which is the belief that some small occurrence could create devastating results in another location far away.

How often does an existing open condenser water system, or some other type of open water system, get reused as part of a building renovation project and/or mechanical system upgrade

How often does an existing closed loop hot water heating or chilled water cooling system get reused as part of a building renovation project, and/or used to expand the area served by the system coverage to provide additional heating or air conditioning?

Optimizing any cooling plant for minimal energy consumption is a demanding science.

This month’s B2B will focus on an 80,000-sq-ft existing commercial office building in need of replacing its two air-cooled chillers.

There are several types of HVAC water systems that are designed with diversity.

This month’s B2B will focus an existing campus administration building renovation.

Engineers face multiple options for providing hydronic heat, along with additional decisions regarding whether that design should also serve other components such as domestic hot water.

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NYP-Columbia) is increasing its chiller plant performance — and reaping big savings — with the use of weather forecast-based analytics.
