The ChillersA key component of most air-
conditioning systems
One of the major energy consumer
Functions : generate cooling and removing heat from a building
Refrigerant based chiller : the most common type (fridge)
Centrifugal Water cooled

Heat must be added to a substance to make it change state :
from solid to liquid

What is inside a chiller?Evaporator
Heat exchanger from water to refrigerant and collect more heat (heat absorbed)
Compressor Vapour compression pump, compress
the refrigerant gas (temperature rise)
Condenser Heat exchanger remove heat from the
hot compressed gas and condense it to liquid (heat released)
Expansion Valve Restricts the flow, forcing the liquid to
go through a small hole which cause a pressure drop (temperature drop)

Chilled Water Loop Cooling Coil :
The cold liquid flowing through the tubes can be water or liquid refrigerant. The heat is exchanged from the air and transferred to the water flowing through the coil.
Evaporator : It s a heat exchanger and basically cools
the warmer water from the outflow side of the cooling coil. The heat is exchanged from the water to the refrigerant inside the evaporator.
Control valve : can be used to vary the quantity of water
flowing through the cooling coil.
Pump : moves water around the loop

Heat Rejection Loop
Condenser : transfers heat from the hot refrigerant
to air, water or some other fluid.
Cooling tower : allows heat transfer from the water to
the air.
Pump : needed to move the water in this loop.
Control valve : can be used to vary the quantity of
water flowing to the cooling tower.

15Schneider Electric Inspiration 2008Energy Efficiency with Power and Automation
Cooling Tower FanCooling tower is an important part of
many HVAC system
The cooling tower fan removes heat from water
The cooling tower fan speed is controlled to maintain the optimal condenser water temperature
The fans are the number-one user of power in a cooling tower, and that's the first place to look for energy savings
There is an advantage using drives because fan power varies as the cube of the air rate and thermal performance varies directly as the air rate

Air Handling Unit (AHU)
The AHU is the indoor unit, which includes a coil and an air blower
Its job is to circulate conditioned air throughout the building
In an AHU, the fan is the largest energy consumer

23Schneider Electric Inspiration 2008Energy Efficiency with Power and Automation
Why variable torque load can saves energy?
Torque varies as the square of speed (centrifugal load)T = k w
Power = Torque x Speed
Power = k W x W = k W
Hence, power varies as the cubic of speed!

Fan Flow Rate Control Using Damper
Placing damper at the DOWNSTREAM to control the flow rate by changing circuits characteristic
LESS efficient
Placing damper at the UPSTREAM to control the flow rate by changing the fans characteristic
MORE efficient

25Schneider Electric Inspiration 2008Energy Efficiency with Power and Automation
Fan Flow Rate Control Using VSD
Fans characteristic at two DIFFERENT SPEEDs
Shifting of fan curve downwards
Shifting of the fans characteristic at different operating speeds and the resulting flow rate
Energy consumption reduced!
