Chilled water leakage and make up cost for water

Chilled water leakage and make up cost for water

Chilled water leakage and make up cost for water

(OP)
Dear All
We are planing for sell chilled water to our customer in the concession area. I wonder if we lost chilled water in custumer system, how can we charge them in terms of water and energy loss.
Regards
Pootong

RE: Chilled water leakage and make up cost for water

For water it is water cost + cost of chemicals (if you add any) reduced to the quantity of water lost.

For energy cost calculate energy loss by m x Cp(t1-t2) where m = mass of chilled water lost in kgs
Cp = specific heat of water (1 kCal/Kg 0C)
t1 = return water temperatre in  0C(in your case there won't be any return still consider temperature of water at the inlet of the chiller)
t2 = chilled water temperature in 0C.

Once you get the value you can get the energy cost by specific consumption of chiller. Convert it to suitable monetary terms.
