If Load wants constant tS
Plant wants constant tR
Only option is to vary the GPM

1. The water entering the chillers can never be warmer than the water entering the plant.
2. The water entering the plant can never be warmer than the weighted average leaving the loads.
3. The load on the plant is equal to the product of the flow leaving the plant, the Δt and the appropriate constant.

1. Identify the types of loads to be served.
2. Design the load connections to receive water at the temperature(s) supplied from the plant and return water at the temperature required by the plant.
3. Design the plant to operate in harmony with the load requirements.
4. Keep all design concepts and algorithms as simple and understandable as possible.
25
The dynamics of the load and the source are intrinsically interdependent, thermally and hydraulically, and the failure of any component to perform as designed cannot be accommodated by adding complexity to the other components.
