The piping system used on screw chillers has an impact on their performance. This presentation looks at how the chiller plants hydronic system influences screw chiller operation at part load and why a good turn down ratio is important. Changing condenser water temperatures and varying system load represent a significant opportunity for energy savings but the chiller and the piping system must be designed to take advantage of the saving potential.

New codes and energy regulations have changed the standard for packaged rooftop unit construction. High performance buildings that are smaller in size and/or consist of one level often sacrifice energy efficiency and comfort. One significant innovation is the use of Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems in smaller rooftop units to meet today’s aggressive energy strategies and provides a high level of comfort. This seminar provides an in-depth look at five HVAC systems designed for high performance environments, and uses an example prototype office building configured to simulate conditions in four different climate zones to demonstrate system performance.

A constant flow system is the simplest chilled water design to operate. Constant speed pumps provide a fixed quantity of water to the system at all times, controlled by 3-way valve control at the air handler coils. At low load building operation, the chilled water flow is by-passed around these coils. This seminar discusses the benefits and disadvantages of a constant flow design, comparing various chilled water supply temperatures and return chilled water options.

Designers often think that determining comfort conditions is as easy as using 75°F and 50% RH for design conditions. However, if you are doing a LEED® analysis the ASHRAE 55 Standard must be used to define comfort conditions.
