INTRODUCTION
Zamil water cooled screw chillers (ASW series) offer the optimum performance and highest efficiency possible for the
Gulfs harsh environment and abnormal operating conditions. The ASW series chillers were designed to provide central
cooling for commercial and industrial applications with the highest reliability and least operating cost combination by the
use of high efficiency dual screw compressors in combination with a water cooled condenser for every refrigeration
circuit.

Water cooled screw chillers offer the best cooling system solution for environments with high ambient temperatures and
high humidity by using water as a cooling medium for the condenser. Water extracts heat from the refrigerant in a much
better way than air, therefore it reliefs the compressor, hence lengthens the compressors life. Water cooled chillers also
have a larger capacity compared to air cooled chillers and are much smaller in size.

ASW series chillers are delivered in complete package, all the chiller components are installed on a rigid steel frame in a
compact design, making the chiller suitable for indoor installation inside service rooms with the least space requirement.
The compact design makes the chiller fit through standard doors with out the need of any disassembly, which makes the
chiller easy to handle and install.

ASW series chillers utilize the environmentally friendly R-134a refrigerant with the least minimum refrigerant pipe lengths
and connections to assure no refrigerant leak.

STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
CAPACITY CONTROL
A. Standard settings:
These chillers are equipped with stepless capacity control system as standard for very accurate response to load
requirements and best part load efficiency. Each compressor is equipped with a slider controller that enables to modulate
capacity between 25% to 100%, thus giving a broad range to control total chiller capacity between 10% to 100% on an
average. This system has following advantages:
1. Infinite capacity modulation allows the compressor capacity to exactly match the cooling load.
2. Reduce compressor cycling that leads to better operational reliability.
3. Reduce operating cost.

B. Optional settings:
The ASW packaged chillers incorporate stepped load shedding as required by some energy management systems.
Modulation of capacity in response to system load requirements is affected by a microprocessor controller which monitors
the leaving water temperature.
Capacity control is achieved by cycling compressor ON/OFF and slider capacity pre-set control valve. The use of slider
control valve provides excellent part load capacities.
On multiple compressor units, capacity is controlled by a combination of slider capacity control valve and compressor
staging.

SEMI-HERMETIC COMPACT TWIN SCREW COMPRESSORS


All compressors are compact semi-hermetic twin screw of the high capacity and efficiency due to its perfect profile form
ratio 5:6. Simple and robust construction with slider control valve for capacity unloading, suction/discharge shut-off valves,
check valve in discharge gas outlet, oil sight glass, oil fill/drain service valve, directly flanged-on three stage oil separator
with long-life fine filter 10 microns mesh size, robust axial bearings in tandem configuration, suction gas filter, internal
pressure relief valve and manual lock-out electronic protection system for thermal motor winding temperature, phase
reversal, discharge gas temperature protection controls.

4
CONTROL PANEL
The control panel design is equivalent to NEMA 4 (IP55) with hinged door for easy access ensuring dust and weatherproof
construction. Internal power and control wiring is neatly routed, adequately anchored and all wires identified with cable
markers as per NEC standards applicable to HVAC industry.

The electrical controls used in the control panel are UL approved which are reliable in operation at high ambient condi-
tions for a long period.

EVAPORATOR (COOLER)
Direct Expansion shell and tube evaporators are used in ASW series chillers to give high capacity, easy and quick
installation and enable for easy maintenance operations. The shell is made of rigid steel with large water inlet and outlet
to handle large water flow rate and capacity. The tubes are made of copper to provide the quickest response to load
fluctuation. The evaporators have a new design that ensures a high level of mechanical strength and resistance to
vibration, the design is made of U-shaped copper coils inside the shell, sufficient space is provided between the copper
coils and the shell to allow for expansion of the tubes. This design also allows for easy cleaning of the evaporator, were
the tubes can be removed easily. The evaporators are specially designed for R-134a applications. Their new design
requires a smaller refrigerant charge and results in a lower pressure drop.

CONDENSER
Every refrigeration circuit has a separate water cooled condenser. The condenser is a shell and tube type with a rigid
external structure made of steel and copper tubes and baffles in the inside to provide the best performance and response
to load fluctuation. The condenser can be connected to a cooling tower or to an air cooled liquid cooler. As the evaporator
shell and tube, the condenser shell and tube has a similar design with the same features. It should be noted that only
treated water is suitable for the water cooled condenser to prevent corrosion, scaling and biological fouling, which will
significantly affect the total system efficiency. It might be necessary to install a fixed continuous chemical treatment
system to control certain properties of the cooling water used. When using a cooling tower, a makeup water tank must be
used to supply the cooling water loop with make up water lost during cooling tower operation.

Please contact the nearest Zamil representative for more information on water properties for the condenser loop.

ETHYLENE GLYCOL SOLUTION CAPACITY CORRECTION (Antifreeze)
When operating in areas with temperatures below 320F (00C), cooler protection in the form of Ethylene glycol solution
(brine solution) is required to protect cooler from low ambient freeze-up. This brine solution must be added to water loop to
bring down the freezing point with a difference of 150F (80C) below minimum operating ambient temperature.

Ethylene glycol solution causes a variation in unit performance. To obtain the effective performance, it is necessary to
multiply the water performance data by correction factors corresponding to the ambient temperature or Ethylene glycol
percentage indicated in the following table.

ETHYLENE GLYCOL % BY WEIGHT 0% 12% 22% 30% 36% 41% 46% 50%

Freezing point of Ethylene glycol solution 00C (320F) -50C (23 0F) -10 0C (14 0F) -150C (5 0F) -200C (-40F) -25 0C (-130F) -300C (-220F) -350C (-310F)

Pressure drop correction factor 1.0 1.07 1.11 1.18 1.22 1.24 1.27 1.30

EXAMPLE: English system- Determine Ethylene glycol percentage by weight and correction factors at 380F ambient
temperature.
From the above table, Ethylene glycol water solution concentration (percentage by weight) corresponding to 380F ambi-
ent temperature is 12% by weight.

Find the correction factors corresponding to 380F ambient temperature from the table.
Cooling capacity correction factor is 0.985, Flow correction factor is 1.02, Pressure drop correction factor is 1.07.
Apply these correction factors for corrected system performance values.

TONS (E.G. SOLUTION) = Tons (water) x Cooling capacity correction factor.


BRINE (E.G. SOLUTION) FLOW (GPM) = Flow (water) x Flow correction factor.
BRINE (E.G. SOLUTION) PRESSURE DROP = Water pressure drop (Ft.) x Pressure drop correction factor.

EXAMPLE: Metric system- Determine Ethylene glycol percentage by weight and correction factors where 3.30C ambient
temperature.
From the above table, Ethylene glycol water solution concentration (percentage by weight) corresponding to 3.30C ambi-
ent temperature is 12% by weight.

Find the correction factors corresponding to 3.30C ambient temperature from the table.
Cooling capacity correction factor is 0.985, Flow correction factor is 1.02, Pressure drop correction factor is 1.07.
Apply these correction factors for corrected system performance values.

KW (E.G. SOLUTION) = KW (water) x Cooling capacity correction factor.


BRINE (E.G. SOLUTION) FLOW (L/S) = KW (water) x Flow correction factor.
BRINE (E.G. SOLUTION) PRESSURE DROP = Water pressure drop (kPa) x Pressure drop correction factor.

Note: Correction factors apply to published chilled water performance rating from 400F to 500F (4.40C to 100C) LCHWT.

MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLER
Sequence of Operation
The following describes the sequence of operation for a two screw compressor chiller unit.
Operation is similar for a one or four compressor unit.
For initial start-up, the following conditions must be met:
· All power supplied to the unit shall be energized for 12 hours.
· Control power switch on for at least 5 minutes.
· All safety conditions satisfied.
· Press ESC on the microcomputer keypad.
· Chilled water pump running and chilled water flow switch contact closed.
· Customer interlock contact closed, if any.
· Condenser water pump running and condenser water flow switch contact closed.

STAGE - ON SEQUENCE
Staging ON & OFF sequence, shall be accomplished by the Leaving water temperature control selection.

Stage #1:
If the Leaving Water Temperature is greater than the Stage 1- ON water temperature set point value, the Compressor #1
liquid line solenoid & slider control valves shall be switched ON. Now the compressor is in the minimum or unloaded
capacity. The compressor capacity is varied to achieve the full/part load capacity as per the load demand.

Stage #2:
If the Leaving Water Temperature is greater than the Stage 2- ON water temperature set point value, the Compressor #2
liquid line solenoid & slider control valves shall be switched ON. Now the compressor is in the minimum or unloaded
capacity. The compressor capacity is varied to achieve the full/part load capacity as per the load demand.

STAGE - OFF SEQUENCE


During the staging OFF, the first-in last-out sequence is adopted, if equalization of compressor timing is not selected.
Else the more used is switched off.

As the applied load decreases and when the leaving water temperature falls below the stage 2 -OFF water temperature
set point value, stage 2 is turned off.

If the leaving water temperature falls below the stage 1-OFF water temperature set point value, the stage 1 is turned off.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES
INTRODUCTION
These guidelines should be considered when designing systems and their installation utilizing Zamil ASW series liquid
chillers. Stable operation, performance and reliability of units is often dependent upon proper compliance with these
recommendations. When any application varies from these guidelines, it should be referred with Zamil Air Conditioners
for specific recommendations.

UNIT SELECTION/SIZING
Unit selection procedure and capacities are provided in this catalog for proper selection. The Zamil electronic selection
program may also be utilized for this purpose.

Over sizing chillers beyond a maximum limit of 5 – 10 % in order to assure adequate capacity or considering future
expansions is not recommended. Over sizing adversely affects the operating efficiency due to erratic system operation
and excessive compressor cycling which also results in reduced compressor life. It should be noted that, units operate
more efficiently when fully loaded rather than larger equipment operating at partial capacities. In addition, an oversized
unit is usually more costly to purchase, install and operate.

When over sizing is desired due to anticipation of future plant expansion, consider using multiple units. For example,
install a single chiller for the present load requirement and install a second chiller for the foreseen additional load demand
due to expansion. Further, it is also recommended that installing two chillers instead of a single chiller be considered in
applications where partial load operation at low capacities is necessary.

Operation of two chillers at higher loading is preferred to operating a single chiller at or near its minimum possible
capacity.

FOULING FACTOR AND WATER REQUIREMENT


The tabulated performance data provided in this catalog are based on a fouling factor of 0.00010 hr-ft2-0F/Btu (0.000018 m2-0C/W)
for the cooler and 0.000244 hr-ft2-0F/Btu (0.004392 m2-0C/W) for the condenser. As the fouling factor is increased, unit capacity
decreases and power input increases. For unit selection at other fouling factors, apply appropriate correction factor from the table
provided in this catalog.

These chillers are suitable for operation with well maintained water systems. Using unclean and untreated water may
result in scale and deposit formation causing reduced cooler efficiency or heat transfer and corrosion or pitting leading to
possible equipment damage. The more scale forming material and suspended solids in the system water, the greater the
chances of scale and deposit formation and fouling. These include calcium, magnesium, biological growth (algae, fungi
and bacteria), dirt, silt, clays, organic contaminants (oils), silica, etc. which should be kept to the minimum to retard scale
and deposit formation. In order to prevent corrosion and pitting, the pH value of the water flowing through the cooler must
be kept between 7 and 8.5. Zamil recommends that a water treatment specialist is consulted to provide and maintain
water treatment, this is particularly critical with glycol systems.

WATER FLOW RATES AND COOLER PRESSURE DROP


The maximum and minimum water flow rates for all unit models and the pressure drop chart are provided in this catalog.
The design water flow rate must be within this range. Design flow rates below the minimum limits will result in laminar flow
causing freeze-up problems, stratification and poor control and flow rates beyond the maximum limits cause excessive
pressure drop and severe tube erosion.

During unit operation, water flow rate must not vary more than ± 5% from the design flow rate. The water flow switch
should be calibrated accordingly. The piping and pumping layout should be right for the application and must assure
proper water return and circulation. When using glycol solution, flow rate and pressure drop are higher than with water,
therefore care must be taken not to exceed the limits. In such applications, consult Zamil Air Conditioners for specific
recommendations.

30
COOLER/CONDENSER FLUID TEMPERATURES RANGE
Unit can start and pull down from 950F (350C) entering fluid temperature. The design leaving chilled fluid temperature
(LCHWT) range as mentioned earlier in the tabulated performance data is 40 to 500F. The design entering chilled fluid
temperature range is 50 to 600F. The design cooler temperature drop ( T) range is 5 to 150F.
The tabulated performance data provided in this catalog is based on a chilled water temperature drop and a condenser
water temperature rise of 100F. Units may be operated at any desired temperature drop within the range of 5 to 150F as
long as the temperature and flow limits are not violated and appropriate correction factors are applied on the capacity and
power input. The Zamil electronic selection program can be very handy in selecting equipment at different temperature
drops.
It should be noted that temperature drop/rise outside the aforesaid range is not permitted as it is beyond the optimum
range of control and could adversely affect the functioning of microprocessor controller and may also prove to be detri-
mental for the equipment.

FLOW RATES AND/OR WATER TEMPERATURES OUT OF RANGE


Certain applications (particularly process cooling jobs) call for flow rates and/or water temperatures that are outside the
above mentioned limits/range. Our chillers can be utilized for these applications by selecting the chiller based on the
specific process load and making a suitable piping and mixing arrangement in order to bring the flow rates and/or water
temperatures relevant to the chiller within acceptable limits.
Example 1:
An application requires 240 GPM of water at 450F and the return water temperature is 650F.
A standard chiller can be used for this application as shown in the following basic schematic layout (single mixing arrangement).

COOLER FREEZE PROTECTION
If the unit is located in an area where ambient temperatures fall below 320F (00C), cooler protection in the form of Ethylene
Glycol Solution is required to protect the cooler and fluid piping from low ambient freeze-up. This glycol solution must be
added to the water system loop to bring down the freezing point of water to a difference of 150F (8.30C) below minimum
operating ambient temperature.

Using this glycol solution causes a variation in unit performance, flow rate and pressure drop, therefore appropriate
correction factors from the aforementioned table in this catalog should be applied.

MULTIPLE CHILLER ARRANGEMENT OR PLANT CONFIGURATION


A multiple chiller system has two or more chillers connected by parallel or series piping to a common distribution system.
Multiple chiller arrangements offer the advantage of operational flexibility, standby capacity and less disruptive mainte-
nance. Also, they offer some standby capacity if repair work must be done on a chiller from a set of duty chillers. Starting
in-rush current is reduced, as well as power costs at partial-load conditions.

A multiple chiller arrangement should be provided if the system load is greater than a single chiller capacity, standby
capability is desired, large temperature drop (greater than 150F) is desired or application calls for splitting the total capac-
ity for better part load operation.

In designing a multiple chiller plant, units of same size should be preferred over different sizes to facilitate balanced water
flow. It is mandatory that cooler flow rates must be balanced to ensure proper flow to each chiller based on its respective
capacity. As mentioned above, two basic multiple chiller systems are used: parallel and series chilled water flow.

In the parallel arrangement, liquid to be chilled is divided among the liquid chillers; the multiple chilled streams are
combined again in a common line after chilling. Water temperatures (EWT or LWT) can be used to cycle units On and Off
based on the cooling demand. Parallel arrangements permit adding chillers in the future for plant expansion with the
appropriate considerations beforehand.

In the series arrangement, the chilled liquid pressure drop may be higher unless coolers with fewer liquid-side passes or
baffles are used. No over chilling by either unit is required, and compressor power consumption is lower than it is for the
parallel arrangement at partial loads. It is also possible to achieve higher overall entering to leaving temperature drops,
which may in turn provide the opportunity for lower chilled water design temperature, lower design flow and resulting
installation and operational cost savings. Series chiller arrangements can be controlled in several ways based on the
water temperatures depending on cooling demand.

A valved piping bypass is suggested around each chiller to facilitate future servicing as it gives the personnel an option for
service without a complete shutdown.

Zamil recommends the parallel arrangement for design temperature drops ( T) up to 150F and the series arrangement
beyond that i.e., 16 to 200F. Complete design details on these parallel and series chilled water flow arrangements can be
found in the ASHRAE handbooks and other design literature which should be referred by the designer in preparing his
detailed designs.

PIPING ARRANGEMENTS AND PLANT LAYOUT


Our chillers are suitable for incorporating in ‘Two Pipe’ single temperature systems or ‘Four Pipe’ independent load
systems. The system piping circuit (load distribution circuit) should be basically parallel piping either Direct Return or
Reverse Return system with a good pumping arrangement.

The method of circuiting and pumping is a judgment decision by the designer. The designer must weigh the pros and
cons of cost, nature of load and configuration of building, energy economics, flexibility, installation requirements and
others to determine the best arrangement for his project. In all cases, it must be ensured that the design water flow is
constantly maintained through the chillers at all stages of operation. Some suggested arrangements with basic schematic
layouts are as follows:

32
A. Single or multiple chillers with constant water flow through chillers and load system:

CHWS

CHILLER Load Load

3-Way 3-Way
Valve Valve

CHWR

Constant Speed Pump

In this type of arrangement, constant water flow through the chillers and load distribution piping circuit is maintained.
Before proceeding further, a brief explanation on the operation of a typical chilled water system / valves which is funda-
mental to the design or analysis of a system.

Where multiple zones of control are required, the various load devices are controlled first; then the source (chillers)
system capacity is controlled to follow the capacity requirement of the loads. Control valves are commonly used to control
loads. These valves control the capacity of each load by varying the amount of water flow through the load device.
Control valves for these applications are two-way (straight-through) and three-way valves. The effect of either valve is to
vary the amount of water flowing through the load device. With a two-way valve, as the valve strokes from full-open to full-
closed, the quantity of water flowing through the load gradually decreases from design flow to no flow. The three-way
mixing valve has the same effect on the load as the two way valve - as the load reduces, the quantity of water flowing
through the load decreases in proportion to the load and the difference amount is directed through a bypass.

In terms of load control, a two-way valve and a three-way valve perform identical functions—they both vary the flow
through the load as the load changes. The fundamental difference between the two-way valve and the three-way valve is
that as the source or distribution system sees the load, the two-way valve provides a variable flow load response and the
three-way valve provides a constant flow load response.

Referring to the foregoing schematic layout, this is a conventional system and is not as energy efficient as the two-way
valve systems especially on the pumping side due to constant water circulation in the system. On multiple chiller instal-
lations, pumps are required to operate continuously and the sequencing of chillers is dependent on water temperatures.

In this type of arrangement, constant water flow through the chillers is maintained, however the quantity of water flowing
through the load distribution piping system decreases in proportion to the load and the difference amount is directed
through a bypass pipe that connects the supply and return headers. Brief sequence of operation is as follows:

The bypass with its control valve and flow meter provides the design flow required through the chillers. Flow meter FM1
measures the actual flow to the chilled water system. The system flow is compared with the required flow for the chillers.
The difference is made up through the bypass and is monitored by flow meter FM2. This flow meter controls the bypass
valve to maintain the desired flow in the bypass based on the set points in the system controller (the valve is positioned by
sum of flow meters FM1 and FM2).

The speed of the chiller pumps is controlled by the differential pressure sensor/transmitter, maintaining the desired
differential pressure ( P) across the cooling coils, their control valves and the branch piping. The pump speed is modu-
lated within a certain range in order to reduce the pumping head and not to alter the water flow rate (the duty flow rate of
the pumps remains constant). Each chiller-pump combination operates independently from the remaining chillers and
each pump is shutdown when the respective chiller is stopped. Instead of using water temperature as an indicator of
demand, the sequencing of chillers is dependent on water flow. The chillers are rated in gallons per minute; the actual flow
to the system determines the number of chillers that should be in operation.

Energy is saved because the system head is reduced appreciably when there are light cooling loads on the system and
due to cycling of pumps.

Note: Some designers may consider installing constant speed pumps and utilize pressure relief bypass control valves
controlled by a differential pressure sensor/controller to maintain a fixed differential pressure between the supply and
return mains of the chilled water system in order to accommodate for the required chiller flow and to achieve some form
of variable volume system. This method is not recommended as it’s a wasteful practice because a considerable amount
of energy is lost, an almost constant volume system results and the pumping energy remains substantially that required
at full system flow and head.

Also, the problem with this system is improper control of the bypass valve which does not guarantee proper flow through
the chillers and high differential pressures in the control valves on the cooling coils when the system friction subsides at
low loads which can cause lifting of the valve stems or wire cutting of the valve seats. Further, as all the water must be
pumped at a head equal to or greater than the design head, the pump or pumps are forced to run up the pump head
capacity curve, which increases the overpressure on the system and also increases the wear on the pumps, since they
are forced to operate with high radial thrusts.

This system is called a Primary – Secondary System and in this arrangement, the generation zone is separated from the
transportation or distribution zone. In this type of arrangement also, constant water flow through the chillers is maintained,
however the quantity of water flowing through the load distribution pump/piping system decreases in proportion to the
load and the difference amount is directed through a bypass pipe that connects the supply and return headers. This
bypass pipe forms a ‘Hydraulic Coupling’ between the points A – B and is also called as Common Bridge or Decoupling
Line. The sequence of operation is similar as the foregoing system with the following explanation:
The speed of the secondary chiller pump is controlled by the differential pressure sensor/transmitter, maintaining the desired
differential pressure ( P) across the cooling coils, their control valves and the branch piping. This pump speed is modulated
within a broad range in order to reduce the pumping head and alter the water flow rate based on the changing load conditions.
The primary pumps are constant speed pumps and the design flow rate through the chillers remains constant. Each chiller-
pump combination operates independently from the remaining chillers and each pump is shutdown when the respective chiller
is stopped. The sequencing of chillers is dependent on water flow. If greater flow is demanded than that supplied by the chiller-
pumps, return water is forced through the bypass into the supply header. This flow indicates a need for additional chiller
capacity and another chiller-pump starts. Excess bypass flow with reference to the set points in the system controller in the
opposite direction i.e., into the return header indicates overcapacity and the chiller-pumps are turned off.
Energy is saved because the system head and water flow rate are reduced on the Secondary Pump when there are partial
cooling loads on the system and due to cycling of Primary Pumps.

COOLER PIPING CONNECTIONS


The following pertinent guidelines are served to ensure satisfactory operation of the units. Failure to follow these recommenda-
tions may cause improper operation and loss of performance, damage to the unit and difficulty in servicing and maintenance:
• Water piping must be connected correctly to the unit i.e., water must enter from the inlet connection on the cooler and
leave from the outlet connection.
• A flow switch must be installed in the field piping at the outlet of the cooler (in horizontal piping) and wired back to the unit control
panel using shielded cable. There should be a straight run of piping of at least five pipe diameters on either side of the flow switch.
• The chilled water pump(s) installed in the piping system should discharge directly into the unit cooler. The pump(s) may
be controlled external to the unit - but an interlock must be wired to the unit control panel (as shown in the wiring
diagram) so that the unit can start only upon proof of pump operation.
• Flexible connections suitably selected for the fluid and pressure involved should be provided as mandatory in order to
minimize transmission of vibrations to the piping / building as some movement of the unit can be expected during
normal operation. The piping and fittings must be separately supported to prevent any loading on the cooler.

35
• The cooler must be protected by a strainer, preferably of 20 mesh, fitted as close as possible to the liquid inlet connec-
tion, and provided with a means of local isolation.
• Thermometer and pressure gauge connections should be provided on the inlet and outlet connections of each cooler.
Pressure gauges are recommended to check the water pressure before and after the cooler and to determine if any
variations occur in the cooler and system. When installing pressure taps to measure the amount of pressure drop
across the water side of the cooler, the taps should be located in the water piping a minimum of 24 inches downstream
from any connection (flange etc.) but as near to the cooler as possible.
• Drain and air vent connections should be provided at all low and high points in the piping system to permit complete
drainage of the cooler and piping as well as to vent any air in the pipes. Hand shut-off valves are recommended for use
in all lines to facilitate servicing.
• The system water piping must be flushed thoroughly before connecting to the unit cooler. The cooler must not be
exposed to flushing velocities or debris released during flushing. It is recommended that a suitably sized bypass and
valve arrangement is installed to allow flushing of the piping system. The bypass can be used during maintenance to
isolate the cooler without disrupting flow to other units.

CONDENSER PIPING CONNECTION


The same points should be followed for the condenser piping as the cooler piping, plus the following:
• A make-up water tank should be provided in the condenser loop to supply make-up water to the condenser when using
an open type cooling tower.
• A water treatment and cleaning system should be connected to the condenser loop to treat and clean the water when
using an open type cooling tower.
The following is a suggested water piping arrangement for the condenser and the cooler at the chiller for single unit
installations. For multiple chiller installations, each unit should be piped as shown:

CHILLED FLUID VOLUME REQUIREMENT
The volume of water in a piping system loop is critical to the smooth and proper operation of a chilled water system. If
sufficient volume of water is not there in the system, the temperature control can be lost resulting in erratic system
operation and excessive compressor cycling. Therefore, to prevent this effect of a ‘Short Water Loop’ ensure that total
volume of water in the piping system loop equals or exceeds 3 Gallons per Nominal Ton of cooling capacity for standard
air conditioning applications and 6 Gallons per Nominal Ton of cooling capacity for process cooling jobs where accuracy
is vital and applications requiring operation at very low ambient temperatures and low loading conditions.

For example, chiller model ASW105B operating with a design water flow rate of 239 GPM for a standard air conditioning
application would require 102.8 (Nom. Cap.) x 3 = 308.4 Gallons of water in the piping system loop.

To achieve the aforementioned water volume requirements, it may be necessary to install a tank in the piping system loop to
increase the volume of water in the system and therefore, reduce the rate of change of return water temperature. This tank
should be provided on the return water side to the chiller and the tank should be baffled to ensure that there is no stratification
and the entering stream thoroughly mixes with the tank water. See recommended tank design schematics below:

TANK SCHEMATIC

SUGGESTIONS ON SYSTEM DESIGN AND PIPING PRACTICES


The prospective chilled water system should be designed to the specific requirements of the owner and to achieve the
most efficient system possible. Following are some recommendations:
• The first decision a designer of a chilled water system must make is the selection of the temperature differential.
Temperature differential is the difference between the supply water and the return water temperatures. There is no one
temperature difference for all chilled water systems. The actual temperature difference that is selected for a specific
installation is determined by the cost of the cooling coils for various temperature differences and the effect that higher
differences may have on the operating cost of the chillers. A careful balance between energy savings and first cost
should be made by the designer. These are the decisions that must be made by the designer for each application and
only experienced designers should entertain water temperature differences in excess of 120F on chilled water sys-
tems. A number of conditions must be recognized before making the final selection of temperature differential:
a) An increase in temperature differential decreases water flow and therefore saves pumping energy.
b) An increase in temperature differential may increase the cost of cooling coils that must operate with a higher mean
temperature difference.
c) Higher temperature differentials increase the possibilities of loss of temperature difference in coils due to dirt on the
air side and chemical deposits on the water side of them.
d) Laminar flow on the water side due to lower velocities at low loads on a coil is always a concern of the water system
designer. The possibility of laminar flow is greater with higher temperature differences. Laminar flow reduces the
heat-transfer rate and should not occur in a coil at any point in its load range. Many systems operate inefficiently
because of coils that were selected at too low a friction loss through them at design load; therefore, at reduced
loads and flows, they operate with laminar flow.

37
• Control of Return Water Temperature: Return water temperature is one of the most important operating values for a
chilled water system. It tells the operator just how good a job the control system and coils are doing in converting
energy from the chillers to the air or water systems that are cooling the building. This is such a basic criterion that it
should be addressed early in the design of a chilled water system. The proper method of controlling return temperature
is through the correct selection of control valves and cooling coils. In conclusion, one of the designer’s most important
tasks is the selection of a sound temperature differential that will provide maximum possible system efficiency. The
second step in this process is to ensure that the differential is maintained after the system is commissioned.
• The water system should be configured to distribute the water efficiently with a minimum use of energy-wasting
devices. These devices are listed here:
a) Three-way temperature control valves
b) Balancing valves, manual or automatic
c) Pressure-reducing or pressure-regulating valves
• The piping should be designed without
a) Reducing flanges or threaded reducing couplings
b) Bullhead connections (e.g., two streams connected to the run connections of a tee with the discharge on the branch
of the tee)
• The friction for the piping should be calculated for all pipe runs, fittings and valves.
• Cooling coils should be selected with a high enough water velocity in the tubes to avoid laminar flow throughout the
normal load range imposed on the coils.
• Coil control valves and their actuators should be sized to ensure that they can operate at all loads on the system
without lifting the valve head off the valve seat.
• Expansion tank should be provided to so that water volume changes can be accommodated. Expansion tanks are
generally connected to the suction side of the pump - lowest pressure point.
• Pumps in parallel must always operate at the same speed. There may be some exceptional cases where parallel
pumps are operated at different speeds, but only experienced designers should make evaluations for such a proposed
operation. Also, it is better to use pumps of the same size when operating them in parallel. Variable speed pumps
should be controlled so that pumps operating in parallel never have more than one percent difference in actual oper-
ating speed. Mixing of constant and variable speed pumps in parallel operation is wrong and leads to disastrous
results.
• Distribution pumps should be selected for maximum efficiency at the design condition and within the economic con-
straints of the project. Distribution pumps should be added and subtracted to avoid operation of pumps at points of
high thrust and poor efficiency. Pump sequencing should achieve maximum possible system efficiency.
• Differential pressure control (bypass) valves should never be installed at the pump discharges.
• Check valves should be provided in pump discharges when pumps are operating in parallel. Pump discharge check
valves should be center guided, spring loaded, disc type check valves and should be sized so that the check valve is
full open at design flow rate. Generally this will require the check valve to be one pipe size smaller than the connecting
piping.
• Circuiting Chilled water to Multiple Chillers : There are fundamentals for the circuiting of chillers that should not be
violated in order to achieve maximum efficiency. Some of these are:
a) Design the piping arrangement so that energy consumption of chillers is not increased.
b) Arrange the piping so that all chillers receive the same return water temperature.
c) Ensure that the required design water flow through the coolers is always maintained.
