Optimum Voltage Three Phase Chiller
Optimum Voltage Three Phase Chiller
(OP)
Actually we have a 300KVA chiller , operating at 480-490 Volts Ph-Ph , we intend to install an electronic regulator to deliver 414 Volts Ph-Ph , it actually has very low power factor , and high temperature , my question is will the equipment consume less energy ?, less demand peak ?, the Brand is carrier , and in the data sheet it says it can opérate from 400 - 500 VAC






RE: Optimum Voltage Three Phase Chiller
Wow - that is some range. You might want to double check that. Does it have an adjustable frequency drive on the chiller?
Why do you want to change the voltage? What are you trying to achieve? And what type of "electronic regulator" are you looking at for a 300 kW load? A motor is a mix of constant kW load and constant current (the reactive power part). So the response to a drastic reduction in voltage may not be what you are expecting.
Of course, the chiller is going to use basically the same kW it is using now.
