Vfd s variable frequency drives are usually employed to serve the purpose of feeding electrical power to pump motors as these provide a good control over speed of motor which in turn changes the gpm s gallon per minutes being supplied to load end.
Chilled water pump vfd.
The existing chilled water system consisted of two variable flow primary chilled water pumps three variable speed cooling fans and three constant volume condenser water pumps.
Secondary pump in chilled water system is responsible to pump the chilled water to load end i e.
Control question added by rashid ali abdul haque senior mechanical engineer bureau veritas.
With state of the art compressor technology and microprocessor based control systems manufacturers now offer variable frequency drives specially designed for centrifugal chillers.
Water differential pressure transmitter near the end of the piping run varies the speed of the vfd.
The selection of this equipment is driven by the individual efficiencies at full and partial loads and also by how the system efficiency will respond to the building loads.
The three trane cvhe450 centrifugal chillers also had variable speed compressors.
Vfd technology is not new to the hvac industry.
The single primary pump pumps water through the chiller and to the coils.
Vfd to maintain a fixed.
A typical chiller plant consists of a chiller or multiple chillers along with chilled water pumps condenser water pumps and cooling towers.
Enable the primary chilled water pump when outside air temperature is above setpoint and at least 1 chilled.
