A computer simulation, or model, of a chiller plant must, by the author’s definition, duplicate the performance of the real plant within 1%-3% to qualify as a tool to design and evaluate the plant at ...

This chapter is devoted to a quasi-empirical thermodynamic chiller model that is easy to implement, and hence attractive for use in chiller predictive and diagnostic work. The original works are ...

Today’s chillers offer a wealth of opportunities and also pose some challenges for manufacturers, installers, and end users. Chillers can be used as heat pumps to provide efficient heating as well as ...

Now that we have derived an analytic model for chiller performance, it is imperative to establish its validity as an accurate predictive tool. Because we contend the model parameters have a clear ...
