An Innovative Layout Possibility Dual Temperature Chilled Water Plant
Use Variable Speed Drives • Good for fans, even better for pumps, which are typically controlled and balanced by throttling
Close 3-way Valves • B8 has a highly variable load due to air washer capacity, yet a constant flow
Exhaust Optimization • Tool exhaust can be optimized via tracer gas or other accepted test methods • In most cases tool exhaust can be reduced 10 – 50% • Fume containment testing required for optimization also verifies worker safety • Case Study Savings Opportunity:
When replacing broken or worn out equipment Select the most efficient option • Efficiency often has little relationship to cost of equipment • E.G. ----- • Pumps • Electric Motors • Fans • etc.
Variable Speed Drive Compressors and waste heat regen dryers • VSD Compressors address the cycling problem
Commissioning / Retrocommissioning • Retrocommission - on a regular basis commission key components of system • E.G. - Develop standard tests for key control loops
Effect - Supply Air Temperature is Deficient Design Supply Air Temp is 55 deg F with no SAT reset
Cause Chilled Water Temperatures
