[Equest-users] Chiller sequencing

[Nicholas Caton]

Of particular interest, I think your exact situation is covered nicely by:



Volume 3: Topics > Central Plant Components > LOAD-MANAGEMENT and
EQUIP-CTRL > Examples of EQUIP-CTRL and LOAD-MANAGEMENT Sequences > Example
1:  Chiller Staging



That said, after you’ve reviewed the literature, you might first set up
some hourly reporting (assigned load for each chiller) before messing with
EQUIP-CTRL settings at all.  If you have two identical chillers, I am 99%
certain they will behave exactly as you’ve described.  That is, chiller A
will handle the first 400 tons of load, then for hours with 401 tons and
upwards the two chillers will share the load 50/50.  The only nuance to add
is that, again assuming they are identical, the chiller that is engaged
first will be determined by the which occurs first in the .inp.



Best regards,



~Nick

Sambhav,

I suggest reviewing the DOE22 Manuals.  DOE33Vol3-Topics contains a
detailed section on load management and equipment sequencing.



The manuals can be downloaded at http://doe2.com/download/doe-22/



Download the latest versions of the pdf files.

Dear Equesters,





I have a building with 800TR load and 2 chillers of 400TR each . In actual
design the chiller sequencing is in such way that



for 0 to 400TR chiller 1 will operate



for load between 400TR to 800TR  both chillers will run under 50% of total
building load ie the building load is say 500TR so chillers wil operate
like 250TR for each 1&2. not like 400TR for chiller 1 and 100TR for chiller
2.



How can i do such sequencing in equipment control.



I shall wait for your valuable response.



Regards

Sambhav Tiwari
