Hi,
I need to reduce the water-side flow rate of the condenser of a water chiller. The slide valve of the screw compressor is currently set up at 74%.
What will be the effect of my action? Can I compensate this effect by changing the load of the compressor? Do you know some good literature about the topic?
Thanks
