Chillers feed water temperature/capacity

Hi.

I need to check the capacity of our chillers - since we plan to reinstate a plant that can use up to 50 l/s of chilled water. We allready have a number of other chilled water users. If the chilled water will be heated from 7 to 15 l/s at this new sourch and then send back to the chilled water process water feed tank where the water is chilled again( closed loop recycle)- will this increase the capacity of the chillers or will the chillers still produce the exact same amount of chilled water (for instance if you feed water at 15 C instead e of 27 C to the chillers will chillers be able to generage more chilled water? These are chillers operating with refrigerant gas- MY logic tells me the amount of chilled water produced will remain the same.

As a start, consider that chiller capacity is measured in units of power.
