05-01: Optimization of Water Cooled Chiller - Cooling Tower CombinationsWater cooled chiller systems have typically been designed around entering condenser water temperatures of 85F with nominal condenser water flow of 3 GPM ton and a 10F range. In recent years there has been considerable debate on the merits of designing around lower nominal condenser water flow rates with a higher range in order to improve system lifecycle costs. However, two other parameters must also be considered in any analysis approach and design
