Optimizing Design and Control of Chilled Water Plants Part 1: Chilled Water Distribution System Selection
This is the first in a series of articles based on the research used to support a new ASHRAE Self-Directed Learning Course on the design and control of chilled water plants. System selection is discussed and a simple application matrix is included. The next installment of the series will be in the September edition and will cover the selection of condenser water distribution systems.
