Purpose The Chilled Water System provides chilled water throughout the plant to all air conditioning and air cooling units that are required during plant operation.
Components • Chillers • Chilled Water Pumps • Chilled Water Expansion Tank • Air Separators
Chillers • Three chiller units provided • Each unit consists of a 1500-ton centrifugal compressor • Any two units may operate in series with the third unit in standby.
Chilled Water Pumps • Three horizontal centrifugal pumps are provided to move the chill water through the system (two normally running with one in standby). • Each pump is rated at 150 hp at a design flow rate of 3027 gpm.
Chilled Water Expansion Tank • Maintains NPSH to the chilled water pumps. • Allows for chilled water expansion on temperature fluctuations.
Air Separator • Air removal from the water • Reduces corrosion of the piping network • prevents cavitation of the chilled water pumps • Air is removed from the chilled water flow stream by utilizing air separator "Tees.“ • Turbulence causes air to be removed from the flow stream. • The tees direct air to the expansion tank.
Chilled Water Heat Transfer • Chilled water circulates through the evaporator to transfer heat to the refrigerant. • TPCW passes through the condenser to remove heat from the refrigerant. • The heat, therefore, is transferred from the chilled water to the Refrigerant and from the Refrigerant to the TPCW.
Objectives Review • State the purpose of the Chilled Water System. • State the basic function of each major component in the Chilled Water System. • Describe how heat is transfer into and out of the Chilled Water System.
