Chiller Plant Efficiency Series – Introduction
Most chiller plants are managed as if “efficiency” were a single setting: a chilled-water setpoint, a condenser-water setpoint, or a pump DP setpoint.
That mindset is the root problem.
A chiller plant is not one machine. It is a system of machines, and every major component in that system has an efficiency curve—meaning its efficiency changes depending on where it operates.
