I Ton Ice =2000 LB;1LB Ice =144 Btu;
1 Ton ice =288,000 Btu
What’s a Ton?
![Page 5: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
12,000 Btu/h = 500 x gpm x t°F = 1 ton
gpm/ton = 12,000/(500 x t°F)
= 24/t°F
Rule of 24

Cooling Tower Piping Practices
• Fill all sections of pipe to purge air.• Size piping at a minimum of 2 fps to
move free air bubbles to tower.• All piping installed below system purge
level.
![Page 17: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Overhead Piping Concerns
• Piping manifolds can result in low velocities.• Low velocity will allow air to be released.• Air trapped in piping increases head required.• Piping installed above purge level compounds
problem.• Unpurged areas are potential sources of
problems when pumps are turned on.
![Page 19: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Elevated Suction Piping Concerns
• Condenser water pump difficult to purge.• At start-up a manual air vent may be required.• During operation air will again accumulate.• Automatic air vent may not work.• If above the basin fill level, the result is
cavitation.
![Page 20: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Tower Piping Observations• At part load reduced velocities in headers may
allow air to be released.• Idle pumps will accumulate air that should be
released prior to starting the pump.• Tower basins should be elevated to ensure
positive pressure under all flow conditions.• Pump casings should be fitted with automatic
air vents.

Condenser Head Pressure Control
With centrifugal chillers a minimum supplywater temperature is needed to:
• Maintain optimum efficiency• Maintain a minimum pressure differential
between condenser and evaporator• Prevent pressure imbalance
![Page 24: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hermetic Compressor Guidelines
• Condenser water temperature > 75 °F.• Establish 75 °F within 15 minutes.• N/O condenser water throttling valve.• Three-way bypass valve can be used.• Constant condenser water flow.• Water temperature control through fan
modulation, or other methods.
![Page 25: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Open Compressor Guidelines
• Condenser water temperature > 55 °F.• Three-way bypass valve can be used.• Constant condenser water flow.• Water temperature control through fan
modulation, or other methods.

How do they work?• Thin plates are stamped with
a unique chevron pattern and assembled in a frame
• Four holes punched in the plate corners form a continuous tunnel which acts as a distribution manifold for the inlet and outlet of each fluid
![Page 35: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How do they work?• Each plate has a gasket that
confines the fluid to the port or to the heat transfer area of the plate
• Units are built to order with a standard 150 psi ASME Code stamped design or to custom designs

Design Considerations
• Use slow closing two-way valves for each zone
• Good system balance required• Use staged c/s or v/s pumps• Use with cooling towers and GPX• Use with closed circuit cooling towers

We want:a. variable volume, to save pumping
costs at part load,b. constant flow through the chiller to
protect it.
A Solutiona. constant flow primary system for the chillersb. variable flow secondary system for the load

Common Pipe Design Criteria
• Use the flow of the largest chiller– Chiller staging at half of this flow is
common• Head loss in common <1 1/2 ft
– Distribution pipe size is often used where reductions would be inconvenient
• Three pipe diameters between tees– Excessive length increases total head loss
• Low velocities in system piping

What else can we do?Reset Supply Temperature
• Lower chiller set point when mixing occurs to maintain a constant temperature to the system.– Allows us to mix colder water and maintain supply
temperature to secondary. (coils)• Expect increases in cost of chiller operation at
lower set point: 1-3% per degree of reset.• Adds to control complexity.• Delays start of the next chiller.

“Loading” a Chiller
• A chiller is a heat transfer device. Like most equipment, it is most efficient at full load.
• To “load” a chiller means:– Supply it with its rated flow of water– Insure that water is warm enough to permit
removal of rated Btu without freezing the water

Always Size the Pump to the System!
But...• Uncertainties
– Coils– Control valves– Primary data
• Lead times
![Page 112: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Dealing With an Overheaded Pump
• Throttle at the discharge valve– Limits on the valve
• Flow balance & trim pump impeller– Required by ASHRAE/IES 90.1
![Page 113: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Additional Concerns
• Pump Protection at minimum flow
• Chiller Staging and De-staging instrumentation.
![Page 114: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Pump Protection
Minimum recommended flow from ESP Plus = 900 gpm
![Page 115: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
Bypass Options1. Establish a minimum flow equal to or greater than
the minimum required to protect the pump.2. Install a bypass at the end of the mains with a
balance valve to set minimum flow.3. Install a bypass at ends of zones.4. In retrofits, leave a three way valve at the end of the
system.5. Use P or flow sensing to open pump bypass only
when needed.6. V/S pumps are not as big a problem because of
lower head at reduced flow.

Why variable speed?
1. When should I use it?2. How does it work?3. What about variable primary flow?

Adjustable Frequency Drives
• Rectifier section– converts AC to DC– several varieties available
• Inverter section– forms a synthetic sine wave– several varieties available– maintains a controlled frequency/voltage ratio
• Requires an automatic control system• Adds to the initial cost of the system
![Page 126: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
Affinity Laws
1. Capacity varies as the RPM change ratio:
FLOW 2 = FLOW 1 ( SPEED 2 / SPEED 1)
2. Head varies as the square of the RPM change ratio:
HEAD 2 = HEAD 1 (SPEED 2 / SPEED 1)2
3. Brake horsepower varies as the cube of the RPM change ratio:
BHP 2 = BHP 1 (SPEED 2 / SPEED 1)3

Pump Selection• Equal size pumps.
– Redundancy.– Parts.– Maintenance.
• Unequal size pumps.– Control issues.– Flow issues.– Premature failure, large pump at low flow.
![Page 174: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/174.jpg)
Chiller Selection
• Equal size chillers.– Redundancy.– Parts.– Maintenance.
• Unequal size chillers.– Control issues.– Flow issues– Additional equipment.
![Page 175: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/175.jpg)
Design Considerations
• Size bypass for minimum flow of largest chiller.– Minimum building load?
• Size bypass modulating valve– for system p, if it’s installed near the chillers– for zone p, if it’s out in the system.
• Program the controller with the chiller p set points for minimum and maximum chiller flow.– Verify with chiller manufacturer.
![Page 176: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/176.jpg)
Design Considerations
• Sequence chillers based on p or temperature sensors.
• Use accurate, calibrated flow meter or p sensors at each evaporator
• Allow for operator training.– Initial– On-going
![Page 177: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/177.jpg)
Consider this design if:• System flow can be reduced by 30%.
• System can tolerate modest changes in water
temperature.
• Operators are well trained.
• Demonstrates a greater cost savings.
• High proportion of operating hours at:
– Part load.
– Full load with low entering condenser water.
![Page 178: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/178.jpg)
Turn-down Ratio• Chiller manufacturers publish 3 - 11 fps
evaporator velocity range (typically).• You may have to increase your
“acceptable head loss” targets, use more pump head.
• Nominal base of 7 fps desirable.• Variation of 1 to 2 fps.• Work with the manufacturer.

Operator Ability
• Within operator’s ability?.– Commercial buildings may not have well
qualified operators.• Training is mandatory.
– Initial– Periodic, in view of operator turnover.
![Page 183: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/183.jpg)
Start-Up & Shut-down• In systems that start-up and shut-down, it
may be advisable to anticipate, and avoid, rapid changes in flow as control valves all tend to act together.
• Control system, BMS, manual procedures.
• Use slow opening/closing valves at the chiller, 60-90 seconds.(?)

Three Different Buildings• “A” has coils selected for 44°F.• “B” has coils selected for 45°F.• “C” has coils selected for 46°F.
• Therefore, the supply water temperature must be at least 44°F for “A”.
• But what about “B” and “C”?

1. Temperature control to the zone (T1 sensing).2. If T1 is satisfied, return water temperature to the chiller
plant (T2 sensing).3. Monitor secondary chilled water supply temperature
(T3 sensing) for temperature increase due to secondaryreturn water recirculation or temperature decrease due tochiller leaving water temperature reset.
4. Reference point for automatic reset and T (T2 - T3) control (T3 sensing).

So what…?
• Satisfy zone cooling requirement at the maximum possible supply temperature
• Minimize secondary flow rate
• Optimize return water temperature

Problems
• Bypass returns cold water to chillers, reduces system t.
• Linear valve characteristics can cause increased flow at part load.
• Balancing required in bypass pipe and coil-to-coil.
• High cost per ton at the chiller.

Single Point Pressure Sensor in a CHW System
• A rise in the average water temperature results in a net expansion of the water.
• This “net expansion” volume flows into the compression tank, raising the system pressure.
• The pump slows down.

So What...?• Staging pumps in a closed loop HVAC
system by flow alone may not work because of different head requirements for a given flow.
• “Wire to water” pump efficiency calculations at part load depend heavily on the assumptions made about the nature and shape of the control curve.

What do you mean...?
• The head loss across the coil and the wide open valve in zone 1 is 25 feet at full flow.
• If that’s true, then we need to add an extra 15 feet of head loss in the balance valve to insure adequate flow out to Zone 2 when the Zone 1 valve is wide open.

What can we do...?In this system:• Single sensor in Zone 2 at 20 ft fails to
provide adequate flow only when – load in Zone 2 < 50% and – load in Zone 1 > 75%
• Is this a predictable, recurring situation?– manual adjustment– programming
• Add a second sensor

zones often, comparing process variable to set point in each case.
• Pumps are controlled to satisfy the worst case.
• What happens to the rest of the zones?

Reverse Return Systems• If all the circuits are the “same length”,
will the pump still change speed?• Suppose a coil with a high p
requirement and another with a lower p requirement are served by the same reverse return piping system. OK?
• If the coils are serving different sides of the building, could we have a problem?

Summary• Give priority to the needs of the branch.• The rule of sensor location is simple and easy
to apply: – If you have to use a single sensor, put it across
the critical branch.– What’s the “critical branch”?– It’s the same one that determined the pump head.
• As we’ve seen, the analysis is more important than the “rule”.

Systems Approach
• All components work together as “team”– Components interact and work as well as we
understand them
• A collection of mismatched components will not perform as expected
• Owner, engineer, architect, contractor, and operators are part of the system too!
![Page 279: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/279.jpg)
Hydronic Balancing
• We worry about balance because:– Load calculations are approximate– Piping circuitry analysis is approximate– Control valve selection is approximate– Approximations will lead to underflow and
overflow situations• Results of overflow or underflow
– Design Dt cannot be achieved– Supply temperature controller hunts (?)– Sequence of operation can be upset.

• It’s test, adjust & balance• Test: The system, now built, is verified in
operation to perform to the expected level.– What do we measure?
• temperature, flow, pressure drop, energy consumption….
– What do we test with?– Can we test with what is installed?– Can we obtain accurate readings?
What Is Balancing?
![Page 282: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/282.jpg)
• What level of adjustment, and for what purpose?– Create comfort conditions– Minimize energy consumption– Prevent equipment damage
• How do we adjust?
Adjust: tested in operation, the system is found lacking and needs fine tuning.
Adjust

Balance
• Balance is often interpreted to mean ±10% of design flow.
• This generalization may or may not yield satisfactory heat transfer required for comfort conditions
![Page 284: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/284.jpg)
Redefining Balance
• Evaluate System Operation– If the goal is occupant comfort, then heat
transfer becomes the key concern.– We control heat transfer as a sensible
temperature control process between controller, control valve and coil
– Analysis should account for interaction of all key components, and how they affect the rest of the system
![Page 285: Large Chilled Water System Design Seminar - ASHRAE · PDF fileLarge Chilled Water System Design Seminar Presented by: Larry Konopacz, Manager of Training & Education Bell & Gossett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a6fd8017f8b9abb538b68cf/html5/thumbnails/285.jpg)
Balanced Hydronic Systems
• All terminals receive enough flow to produce satisfactory heat transfer (97.5% - 102.5%)
• At design conditions, all terminals receive satisfactory flow with the pump in a specified range of operation
• Under temperature control modulation to match load, circuit flow does not exceed design flow accuracy

Balancing, The Obvious Answer
• Maximum branch flows need to be controlled• Balancing valves are one solution• Pressure independent flow control is another
method• “Systems” perspective needs to be
maintained; pipe, valves, calculations.

It’s more than just “balancing valves”
• Piping system decisions:– Usually have a choice between two size pipes
– Varied methods of pipe head loss calculation
• Have to account for safety factors, aging
• Control valve selection: may not get the exact flow coefficient you need.
• Have to have a way to validate (test) and make adjustments (branch & system)
• It takes some judgment and experience.

Design Criteria For Piping
ASHRAE recommends:• Velocity
– General 4 -10 fps– Mechanical rm. 6 -15 fps
• Maximum velocity– 1500 hr/yr 15 fps– 3000 hr/yr 13 fps– 6000 hr/yr 10 fps
• Pressure drop– 1.0 to 4.0 ft / 100 ft.
Consider:• Branch to riser pressure
drops should be 2:1 or greater
• Direct return circuits in variable speed / variable flow hydronic circuits require much more attention to detail and control sequence

Issue: System Curve
• When we have many path’s, we have manysystem curves depending upon which valves are open.
• In VS/VF systems, the pump flow changes as the control valves modulate. The pump speed adjusts to those changes.

Thoughts On Selection
• Coil pressure drop dominates system controllability.
• Control valve selection with β = 0.5• Balancing valves: provide trim…
– Use as much PD as possible in control valves– Absorb the rest at the balancing valve.
• Use independent flow measurement– Triple Duty Valve– Pump– Circuit Setters

Summary: Why Test & Balance?
• Load calculations can be inaccurate causing excess flow
• Pipe and fitting predicted losses will vary from actual performance– Aging factors / fouling will actually occur many years in
the future– Safety factors result in pump over-heading, improper
pump selection and over flow.• Control valve sizing is not exact.• Systems are not built as designed.
