Chiller Systems

Where can energy be saved? If a chiller system is more than 10 years old, replacing it can result in 40-50% energy savings due to advancements in technology.  Newer Chiller Systems typically have built in variable frequency drives, controlling the system based on demand.

What if my chiller system is not old? Even if a Chiller System is 2-3 years old, an analysis can be done to see how it can better be controlled.
