Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to determine chilled water temperature. Conventionally, a design of chilled-water temperature differential across cooling coils of 5℃ was used, which resulted in a flow rate of 2.6 L/min per kW. In recent years, due to increasing demand for zero-energy building, carbon neutrality 2050 has led to a reexamination of the design used in selecting chiller system with a goal to reduce energy consumption. Large temperature differential chiller is considered by MEP Engineers. The chiller system is designed by reducing circulation water with a chilled-water temperature differential above 7℃. Increasing temperature differential can reduce circulation water by the law of conservation of energy. Reducing chilled-water flow rates can save energy, operating cost, and pipe installation cost. |
