  • This hvac training videos goal is to teach hvac technician on how chiller approach works and what to do with it. I give an indepth look at condenser approach and evaporator approach. This online chiller training is great for entry level chiller tech looking to expand their knowledge. This applies to water cooled chiller and air cooled chiller. This can also help with centrifugal chiller surge. Chiller surging is commonly a heat exchanger issue.

      It takes several years of hands on experience to effectively PM a LTC. As for service and troubleshooting that will require even longer period under the watchful eye a qualified technician.

    @genegonzalez4713 2 года назад

    Approach also tells us how efficient the heat exchanger transfers heat. If the tubes in the water cooled condenser are dirty your approach temperatures will go up and vice versa. Punching the tubes is a good idea, and keeping tower water clean and filtered

  • @genegonzalez4713
    @genegonzalez4713 2 года назад

    One of the tools a chiller plant engineer or operator should always have is a ( PT CHART) pressure and temperature chart. Another tool needed is the pressure drop chart needed to determine flow rate on each chiller barrel. Now a days they have a ultrasonic flow meters on your bldg automated system

  • @genegonzalez4713
    @genegonzalez4713 2 года назад +2

    . The closer these temperatures are to each other, the more efficient the heat transfer.

    • @genegonzalez4713

  • @jweschler

    Very good video. I’d like to add that the reason the approach goes up when the water flow is too low is because the water will go into laminar flow (as opposed to turbulent flow). Laminar flow is when the flow is so low that the water flows down the center of the tubes and is stationary on the tube edge where the heat transfer is taking place. Think of a small stream with very low flow. You’ll see the water and leaves flowing down the center and the water is stagnant on the sides. Turbulent flow has all the water mixing up going through the tubes. In a chiller, when you approach laminar flow, you loose you’re approach very quickly.

    What’s the best approach value on a 80 ton CGAM for the evap EX? I was running 7 degrees the other day. Just getting into chillers recently and your videos have inspired me to take this path.

    • @HVACTIME

      A typical range is between 3F to 10F

    Hi , I have 3 "Carrier 5H80" compressors in tandem configuration , besides the oil equalizers on hand hole lower connection , there is also piping on the same hand hole on upper hole which are connected to all 3 compressors , do you know what is it for ?

  • @joshstevens9826
    @joshstevens9826 3 года назад

    I know 0° approach is ideal. But that also depends on the design. Some chillers are designed for a 2° approach. So if u r running 0° you r running the chiller outside of the design of the chiller.

    You briefly mentioned WSHP with co-ax coils. Just curious what information can be gleaned from condenser approach on those systems? My first thought would be that a higher approach would mean that coil was likely starting to get fouled, what would you consider a normal approach on such a system?

    • @HVACTIME
      @HVACTIME  Год назад

      The approach will be higher, typically around 10F

  • @genegonzalez4713
    @genegonzalez4713 2 года назад

    Approach temperature? In essence the
    Chiller approach is the temperature difference between the water and the refrigerant.

  • @localchumb

    I have a question, is the chiller the condenser? I'm asking because my teacher was calling it an evaporator but he may have misspoken and I don't want the wrong idea in my head :(

    • @HVACTIME

      A chiller will have an evaporator and a condenser. The condenser can be water cooled or air cooled

    • @HVACTIME
      @HVACTIME  2 года назад +1

      No, wouldn't be efficient enough. And requires more advanced service ability and cost. Some of the original residential system used chilled water but the industry quickly moved away from it.

    • @achempel46
      @achempel46 Год назад

      In residential it's more important to look at superheat, subcool, delta t, and static pressures. I have the measure quick app for ease of getting all these in one place and reporting that information at the end of the job. It will throw you off if you look at condenser approach often it's negative which is a sign of liquid line restriction but there's no measurable difference from the condenser outlet and entering the expansion valve.

    Hello Buddy, we appreciate your clips on the Centrifugal Chillers; Do you have any clips on adjusting the metering valve on the MqQuay / Daikin Centrifugal Chillers. As it seem though you adjust the pilot valve, the main valve, seems to be very lazy in responding, any advice?

    • @enternaty
      @enternaty 2 года назад

      I have a 500/ton McQuay Centrifugal Chiller @ 4160 Volts, where the Discharge Superheat is suppose to be 15-18 *F with the liquid injection off @ 100% however, im just getting carryover which is preventing the oil from returning to the Oil sump to maintain the Oil level required. Discharge superheat is falling to 1*F

    When you talk about Approach as far as a chiller system you should be very specific because each component has his approach there are Different types of Approach:
    1. Condenser Approach Temperature
    2. Evaporator Approach temperature
    3. Cooling tower Approach
    4. AHU Approach Temperature
