Thermodynamic Investigations of water cooler Chiller Plant of an air-conditioning System

Shiv Kumar Sharma

As we know, Chiller plant is a mechanical system which can be used for heat removal of refrigerant in a central air-conditioning system. In this pilot study Chiller plant (600 TR Capacity) of AUR located behind SRC building was investigated. Cooling Water (Secondary Refrigerant) of Central air conditioning system is cooled in this chiller plant using R-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane) refrigerant (Primary Refrigerant. On investigation of the chiller plant, some problems (Like no use of damper) were identified.   If we can properly address areas of concern, Performance of system may improve.
