A drop in delta T causes more GPM

Low delta T

• Delta T=10.4oF (52.4oF - 42oF)

• 415 GPM

• 2 Chillers, 45% Load (180 Ton)

No change to the load, but a 2nd Pump and 2nd Chiller are started.If cooling towers exist, additional cooling tower and pump may start.

Power ControlDefinition

What is Power Control ?• A control algorithm that

creates a Linear relationship between control signal and kBTU/hr output

• Power Control maintains a coil power set point regardless of pressure and temperature fluctuations

Belimo Energy Valve™Energy Metering

• By measuring Flow (Electronic Flow Sensors)and

• Delta Temperature (RTD sensors)

• the Energy Valve can calculate Power/Energy

Power: Q (BTU/hr) = 500 x Flow (GPM) xTemperature Change (°F)

Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut

17

Belimo Energy Valve™Energy Metering Usage

• Energy Measurement

• Use as System Verification Tool during commissioning.

• Establishes a baseline performance for operation over time.

• Contributes to LEED.
