Solution to (or reduce effects of) Low Delta T
Address the causes
Clean Coils
Calibrate controls occasionally
Select proper 2W valves (dynamic/close-off ratings) and maintain them
no 3W valves in design
find and correct piping installation errors
Over pump chillers at ratio of Design Delta T / Actual Delta T
Increase Delta T across chillers with CHW Re-set (down).
Use Variable Speed Chillers & sequence to operate from 30 to 70% Load
Use VPF Systems (mitigates energy waste in plant)
Header pumps & operate more pumps than chillers
If dedicated pumping, over-size (design at 80% speed).

No large Common pipe, but smaller Bypass pipe/valve/flow meter/controls
Lower CHW Pumping Energy
Smaller Footprint (vs Primary/Secondary)
Relatively New & More Complex Controls
Reduces Negative Impacts from Low Delta T

Disadvantages
Higher (potentially) PSID rated 2-Way valves in system
Requires more robust (complex and calibrated) control system
Requires coordinated control of chillers, isolation valves, and pumps in sequencing
Longer (potentially) Commissioning time
Requires greater operator sophistication

VPF Systems Design/Control Considerations Summary
Chillers
Equal Sized Chillers preferred, but not required
Maintain Min flow rates with Bypass control (1.5 fps)
Maintain Max flow rates (11.0 to 12.0 fps)
Isolation Valves (Modulating or Stroke-able to 1.5 to 2 min)
Dont vary flow too quickly through chillers (VSD Ramp function typical setting of 10%/min)
Chiller Type
System Water Volume
Chiller Load
Active Loads
Sequence
If Constant Speedrun chiller to max load (Supply Temp rise). Do not run more chillers than
needed (water-cooled) If Variable Speedrun chillers between 30% and 70% load (depending on ECWT). Run more
chillers than load requires.
Add Chiller - CHW Supply Temp or Load (Adjusted* Flow X Delta T) or amps (if CSD)
Subtract Chiller - Load (Adjusted* Flow X Delta T) or Amps (if CSD)

VPF Systems Design/Control Considerations Summary
Pumps
Variable Speed Driven
Headered arrangement preferred
Sequence
with chillers (run more pumps than chillers for over-pumping capability)
on flow (add pump when existing inadequate, subtract when can)
optimized algorithm (total kW of more pumps, lower than less pumps)
Stay within pump/motor limits (25% to 100% speed)
Subtract a Pump at 25 to 30% speed
Add a pump back when speed of operating pumps high enough
Speed controlled by pressure sensors at endof index circuit

44
VPF Systems Design/Control Considerations Summary
Bypass Valve
Maintain a minimum chilled water flow rate through the chillers
Differential pressure measurement across each chiller evaporator
Flow meter preferred
Modulates open to maintain the minimum flow through operating chiller(s).
Bypass valve is normally open, but closed unless Min flow breeched
Pipe and valve sized for Min flow of operating chillers
High Rangeability (100:1 preferred)
PSID Ratings for Static, Dynamic, And Close Off = Shut Off Head of Pumps
Linear Proportion (Flow to Valve Position) Characteristic preferred
Fast Acting Actuator
Locate in Plant around chillers/pumps (preferrred)
Energy
Avoid Network traffic

Summary on VPF Design
Chillers
Size equally with same WPDs (best)
Respect Min/Max Flows through chillers
Set Pump VSD Ramp function to about 10%/min (600 sec 0 to Max Speed)
Use Modulating or Strokeable Valves (preferred) on chiller evaps, headered pumping
Use 2 Position Valves (1 min stroke) on chiller evaps, dedicated pumping
Pumps
VSD Controllers
Headered Pumping Arrangement (preferred)
Dedicated Pumping OK (over-size pumps)
2 Way Valves
Select for Static, Dynamic, Close-off ratings (PSID) equal to pump SOH (plus fill pressure)
Range-ability 100 to 200:1
If Bypassfast acting, linear proportion
If Coilsslow acting, equal percentage, On-Off stagger air units (10-15 min intervals)
Controls
Set-point far out in index circuit (lower the value, the better the pump energy)
Set Ramp function in VSD Controller (10%/min average)
Run 1 more pump than chillers (when headered)
Chillers On by common Supply Temp, Load, Amps, Adj Flow (Adj for Low Delta T)
Chillers Off by Amps, Load, Adj Flow (Adj for Low Delta T)
Over-pump Chillers to combat Low Delta T and get Max Cap out of chillers
Bypass controlled by Min flow (preferred) or Min WPD of largest chiller (locate in plant for best energy, but can go anywhere in system)
