While chillers are turned on or off, the outlet temperature will change drastically causing the temperature difference also change. Should I take the temperature difference in the two time period as normal or there is another way to tackle it. Thanks.

    Is pump for water inlet or outlet of evaporator? Where pump is present for about condenser?

  • @mikeramerez569

    @mikeramerez569

    5 жыл бұрын

    The water is pumping through the evaporator (so in answer to your question the pump is for both inlet and outlet) and continues to the Fancoil units within the building. The compressor drives refrigerant through both the evaporator and condenser without mixing with the water in either (the evap or cond). The condenser has it's own pump that circulates the water through the condenser and up to the cooling tower. These constitute 3 separate circuits that never mix. I hope this helps.

    Excellent video. I have 1 doubt please solve it. From internet i saw this formula relation GPM = 24*TR/delta T This is for water. Now for derivation of this relation: We know from heat equation m*c*deltaT = TR*3.52 Where m=mass flow rate of water in kg/sec, c= Specific heat of water in KJ/Kg-C, TR= Tonnes of refrigeration. Now m = Density*volume flow rate Now putting, c = 4.2 KJ/Kg-C and Density = 1000 kg/m3 We get, 4200*Volume flow rate (m3/s)* deltaT = TR*3.52 Solving, Volume flow rate = (3.52/4200)*(TR/deltaT) m3/s Now to convert it in GPM we know 1 m3/s = 15850 GPM So, V = 13.3*TR/deltaT These 2 relation is not matching. Please check and tell where i am doing wrong. I have checked multiple times. Please help.

    This is semantics really and should not take away from the awesome video (I'll still buy you a coffee Paul) but the final calculation for BTU/h is not correct. I believe it was just a typo but it should be 8,530,355 BTU/h. If you figure 12000BTU per 1 RT. 12000 x 711 = 8,532,000. If you rather 3412.142BTU per 1KW. 2500 x 3412.142 = 8,530,355 BTU/h. BTW I have learned more watching your videos than studying any other format. Excellent work and I particularly like the blender 3D renderings of the machinery. Best wishes.
