Making specific design decisions at the project's outset can have long-lasting consequences. It's crucial to grasp these implications and effectively communicate them to the decision-makers.
This article demonstrates the System Energy Equilibrium (SEE) Plant Model can duplicate the performance of a Kansas City chiller/tower manufacturer’s data.
One engineer’s quest to develop a math model, solved by computer, of a system that duplicates the real-time chiller system performance at all operating conditions within about 3%.
After years of chasing the attractive efficiency numbers offered by water-based evaporative systems, many data center providers are giving air-cooled chillers a second look.
It’s no secret that data centers require a lot of energy. The main driver of data center design engineers’ work is to provide energy-efficient, reliable, and cost-competitive HVAC systems.
The WSE, providing what is commonly known as "free cooling," uses outdoor air to naturally cool water and other process fluids, reducing compressor work and increasing chiller efficiency.
Christine Detz, product management, centrifugal chillers, building technologies and solutions, Johnson Controls, and Kaitlin Logan, product and strategy manager, Johnson Controls, introduce the new product at the 2020 AHR Expo.
The Stuart C. Siegel Center at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), located in Richmond, Virginia, is mostly known for its sold-out men’s basketball games, but it also hosts several other events and activities.
Eliminating oil from the chiller improves performance and reduces maintenance, providing up to $3,650 in annual maintenance costs associated with maintaining the complex oil management system.
