Chiller Plant Optimization

When looking for ways to maximize the energy efficiency of a chilled water system, it’s common to pay attention to the chiller itself as it is the
most energy intensive system. 

In Singapore and South East Asia production of chilled water is so important to many facilities as it is the common cooling medium typically used for air conditioning in commercial, institutional, and healthcare facilities. The chiller is the specific piece of equipment that cools water by transferring heat to refrigerant using a vapor-compression cycle. Although the main chiller by product is chilled water, it also generates waste heat which needs to be removed to keep the chiller operating effectively. Also, sustainability outcomes in the region are driven through the Green Mark scheme that can ensure buildings awarded under Green Mark will truly be high quality designed.

 

Our Process

That’s where DG Energy Controls is acting through the so-called CPA /CPO, meaning Chiller Plant Automation / Chiller Plant Optimization. Our smart control system, based on many years of experience in Singapore and ASEAN, is highly flexible to optimize any chiller plant configuration (greenfield or retrofit project). System efficiency is improved to reduce energy consumption and can be easily monitored on site by the BMS operator/Energy manager with a very powerful but simple to use chiller plant performance dashboards with inbuilt data analytics and amazing data visualization tools. 

Whatever the compressor technology, we use advanced control algorithms for managing chillers and system components directly involved in the optimization process: pumps, cooling tower, heat recovery system, thermal storage, … Our in-house expert team have developed advanced optimization features like dynamic chilled water supply setpoint, return temperature control, variable flow chilled water, dynamic condensing water setpoint, smart sequencing and staging to optimize the chillers partial load performance, air side management, etc.
