Over the last few weeks the Monday Morning Minutes posts have looked at pumping issues with multiple condensers and pumps. One of our most-received questions …
Parallel Pumping with Unequal Condensers (Part 4)
Over the last few weeks our Monday Morning Minutes posts have looked at pumping issues with parallel, equal-sized condensers and pumps. This week we will look …
Parallel Pumping in Condenser Applications: Automatic Differential Pressure Control (Part 3)
Chilled water condensers are normally operated as constant-flow devices and the pumps serving them are constant-speed. Why would you ever use a variable-speed drive for …
Parallel Pumps in Condenser Applications: Limiting the Flow Rate (Part 2)
In part 1 of this series we offered an example condenser water pumping system. The design of this example is 800 GPM per condenser for …
Parallel Pumping in Condenser Applications (Part 1)
Applying a single constant-speed pump for each condenser in a chilled water application is a normal design for the HVAC engineer. The chiller manufacturers suggest …
