MAIN PLANT COOLING OPERATIONS The operating regimen of the main cooling plant is just as important as the equipment itself. Year-round: The ice storage system is charged every night so that it can be used as the first cooling strategy regardless of the time of year. Normal summer: In addition to the ice storage system, the chiller with a variable frequency drive (VFD) will be brought online and modulated to the required demand. Peak/hot summer: The dedicated ice chiller with no VFD will be brought online at full capacity, with the VFD chiller modulating as required to meet the remainder of the load. SAVINGS Chilled water system: The Belimo energy valve project combined with the installation of VFDs on the chilled water pumps means that the cooling plant can operate on a low flow, low temperature (LFLT) control strategy, Main cooling plant rather than on a high flow, high temperature (HFHT) control strategy. This has resulted in 44% energy savings associated with pumping, 18% energy savings associated with chiller operation and a 60% reduction in GRID ELECTRICITY ELECTRICITY peak airside kW demand. HVAC fans: Rather than simply operating at full speed, ELECTRIC CHILLER W/VFD the installation of variable frequency drives means 1,100-TON all twelve fans run at low speed and meet ventilation (3,900 KW) requirements exactly, thereby saving energy. COOLING The steam system: This previously had limited ELECTRIC CHILLER controllability and was effectively all on or all off. 1,100-TON The new digital monitoring system has introduced a (3,900 KW) granular level of control and has resulted in a decrease NIGHT TIME ICE CREATION PEAK COOLING in steam consumption of 66%. 31 ICE STORAGE TANKS 6,200-TON HOURS PER DAY (22,000 KWH PER DAY)
