Building Impact on <strong>Chilled</strong> <strong>Water</strong> System<br />

• The two-way valves on the AHUs are performing properly and are not<br />

having a negative impact on the chilled water distribution system.<br />

• The return water temperature control valve is intended to restrict<br />

return water flow to the chilled water plant until it reaches a<br />

predetermined temperature. There is no cross-connect to the supply<br />

water line and no booster pump to move the water if there were. This<br />

valve is redundant to and, in some cases, overrides the performance<br />

of the individual AHU control valves.<br />

Recommendations<br />

• Command open the return water temperature control valve and remove its control parameters.<br />

• Properly tune individual AHU control valves.<br />

• Install BTU chilled water meter in ground floor mechanical room.<br />

• Balance water flow to AHUs.<br />

• Document new performance data.<br />
