Variable Speed Chillers With Picv

The document describes a typical variable speed chiller plant room setup using Frese DYNAMIC pressure independent control valves (PICV). The setup includes chillers connected to a controller which regulates flow through each chiller via a PICV. The controller measures inlet and outlet temperatures to maximize efficiency and regulates variable speed pumps. Multiple chillers at lower capacity or cascade control is recommended for optimal efficiency depending on chiller design. Benefits of the PICV setup include balanced and eliminated need for static or differential pressure valves, simple installation and low system pressure loss.

Function
The variable speed chillers are connected to the controller, which controls the flow through each chiller by the PICV.
The controller measures the inlet and outlet temperatures to maximize Delta T and regulate the variable speed pump to
maintain the required pump pressure.
For optimal chiller efficiency, the use of multiple chillers at lower capacity or cascade control at part load shall be selected,
depending on the chiller design and control philosophy.
