Optimization Strategies

Each can be implemented independently; together they deliver maximum savings.

01

VFD + DP Reset (Cubic Pump Law)

Leverages the cubic relationship between pump speed and power consumption. A 50% speed reduction yields 87.5% power savings. Differential pressure setpoint is dynamically reset based on valve positions.

Cubic law: 50% speed = 12.5% power (78% reduction)
02

Variable Primary Flow (VPF)

Eliminates the constant-flow primary loop by using VFDs on primary pumps. Flow modulation based on real-time load reduces pumping energy by 15-30% while maintaining minimum chiller flow requirements.

Eliminates secondary loop for 15-30% pump energy savings
03

Condenser Water Temperature Reset

Optimizes the condenser water temperature setpoint based on wet-bulb conditions and chiller load. Balances chiller compressor efficiency against cooling tower fan energy for lowest total plant kW/ton.
