The rating factor is, therefore:<br />

The range has been set by the chillers (heat rejection / lbs water flow) and<br />

the wet-bulb temperature is known. The approach can be found from the<br />

performance charts, or by an equation fitted to the charts:<br />

The leaving water temperature is then<br />
