    Determine right pressure setpoint

    Just wanted to second what energyprofessional said. A pressure reset or trim and respond routine is the way to go.

    Heat recovery chillers - entering vs leaving chilled water control

    I have read through the IOM. But it didn't explain when to use entering vs leaving chilled water control. Was hoping to hear people's experience using one vs the other. @rputvin that article is super helpful thanks

    Heat recovery chillers - entering vs leaving chilled water control

    Hi folks, I'm in the process or recommissioning a multistack heat recovery chiller Link The chiller wasn't commissioned/set up properly and hasn't run much since it was installed. I'm wondering if anyone could shine some light on entering vs leaving chilled water control? The chiller can be...

    Is pumping away from chillers technically okay?

    I see no issues with this.

    Uneven heating on HVAC heating coil (air-water HEX, copper fin tube)

    Hi Neo, A few questions: Has there been a water audit done to see what the actual flow rate and pressure drop through the coil is compared to the original design? Do you have photos of how the coil is piped? Supply connection location/return connection location? How was the coil flushed...

    Constant volume chilled water system

    The 3 way valves modulate to maintain a supply air temperature setpoint. The coil entering air will almost always be cooler than what the system was designed for, therefore without any means of control such as a 3 way valve you'll end up with air that's too cold leading to occupant complaints.

    Tapping a chilled water line at a Y-strainer

    Unusual but doable. You got somewhere for the return connection as well?

    ROOM ACH RATES, VAV

    I'm not familiar with the ASHRAE standard referenced but do have experience evaluating ACH rates. You should clarify if the ACH refers to ventilation rates or simply ACH (total supply air to the space). With regards to VAV's ramping down in response to load - the engineer will need to provide...

    Absorption Chiller kawasaki need a manual pls any body help

    The photo doesn't open up properly on my phone. However I was able to make out the model number. A quick Google search didn't turn up anything. I recommend contacting Kawasaki here: https://www.khi.co.jp/corp/kte/EN/contact/index.html

    Need more info. A model number or a name plate would help.

    Cooling tower

    if its a winter application with a pan heater, you will unnecessarily waste energy because the non-operational tower will still have water in the basin which will need to be kept above freezing when the towers are off.

    Btu meter location

    @pedarrin2 is incorrect. A btu meter consists of a flow meter and two temperature sensors, one temp sensor goes on to supply and one on to return. Since both supply and return flow are identical it doesn't matter where you install the btu meter. Just make sure you understand where in your piping...

    MSc Dissertation

    In Canada, their was a recent announcement for implementation of an aggressive Carbon tax regime that'll make the cost of gas as a heat source more expensive than electricity. This is going to make owners/engineers take a closer look at non gas based heating/humidification technologies as well...

    High Aspect Ratio Duct OK?

    Other than cost - not really. SMACNA has guidance on duct reinforcement that you may want to look at and probably include in your duct construction specification.

    Hot Water & Heat Recovery Design

    On schematic 2, are you able to show the pumps and label the equipment to which flow is going to and coming from? Instead of the 3-way valve, you can just have the VFD ramp up/down to maintain 85c in the building loop.
