Quoting New System
When quoting a new cooling Tower or Chiller System, it is important to understand the true plant-wide cooling load. Especially since you’ve probably added machines since the last system was purchased, or to say, you’re sometimes close to or above the capacity on which the system was sized for.
Once we all understand the actual cooling load, we can begin strategizing on the optimal setup; chiller vs. tower, open vs. closed loop, etc.
Troubleshooting Existing System
When troubleshooting an existing cooling tower or chiller for plant-wide process cooling, filling out this survey will help you quickly identify a true sense of capacity and how close the system is running compared to it.
