2001 ASHRAE Technology Awards: Innovative Chiller loading Strategy

Spectrum Healths Blodgett Campus facility in Grand Rapids, Mich. has expanded to 416,000 net ft2 (38 600 m2), which includes operating rooms, an emergency department, labs, patient rooms and a medical office building. The facilitys continued growth and its increase of internal equipment loads created a need for more cooling capacity. The facilitys cooling requirements on summer days with high wet-bulb temperatures exceeded the central chilled water plants capacity.
