Systems in this type of building

Chilled-water plantHow a chiller plant cools a building: cooling tower, chiller, pumps and air handler, and where 2R measures power and flow.
  1. Cooling tower · rejects the chiller's heat outdoors
  2. Chiller · makes the chilled water for air-conditioning, often the biggest single electrical load
  3. Condenser water pump · circulates water between the chiller and the cooling tower
  4. Chilled water pump · sends chilled water to the air handlers; a VSD lets it follow the load
  5. Air handling unit (AHU) · blows air across the chilled-water coil and into the building
  6. Ultrasonic flow meter · clamped on the chilled-water pipe to measure flow and cooling load (RT)
  7. Power logger · logs kW, kWh and power factor over days: Meatrol Mi550 / Fluke 430 Series II
