COSTING PARAMETERS (CHILLED WATER)

https://theengineeringmindset.com/chiller-cooling-capacity-calculate/
How to calculate the cooling capacity of a chiller. Chillers provide chilled water which is then used to provide air conditioning within buildings. The amount of cooling they produce varies and it’s important to know how much cooling a chiller
is producing or is able to produce.

Firstly to perform this calculation we need to know a few things.

1. The volume flow rate of water into the evaporator


2. The inlet and outlet chilled water temperature
3. We then need to lookup the properties of water for the following

The density of the water at the average temperature (inlet temp + outlet temp)/2
The Specific Heat Capacity of the chilled water at the average temperature (inlet temp + outlet temp)/2

Let look at how to calculate the cooling capacity. We’ll first look at how to calculate in metric units and then imperial.

Metric units:
The water flow rate of chilled water into the evaporator is 0.0995m3/s, the inlet temperature is 12 deg C and the outlet temperature is 6 deg C. This means the average temperature is 9 deg C so we lookup the water properties at this
temperature to find the density of 999.78kg/m3 and a specific heat capacity of 4.19kJ/kg/K.
Using the energy equation of Q = ṁ x Cp x ΔT we can calculate the cooling capacity.
Q = (999.78kg/m3 x 0.0995m3/s) x 4.19kJ/kg/K x ((12*c+273.15K) – (6*c+273.15K))
We add 273.15K to the celcius to convert it to units of Kelvin. The Specific heat capacity (Cp) is measured in units of kJ per kg per Kelvin.
This gives us a final answer of Q = 2,500kW of cooling. Full calculations are shown below.
