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.
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.
