Required temperature output from chiller is not obtained

[Bharat812]

Vapor compressor chilled brine plant:
30 TR capacity, -25 C is the required output
Problem: Temperature is not going beyond -14 C

Brine: 50% - MEOH + 50% - Water
SPG: 0.93
Refrigerant: Ammonia
Chiller Type: Shell & Tube, 6 pass
Compressor Discharge Pressure: 12 kg/cm2
Compressor Suction Pressure: 0.15 kg/cm2
Difference in Temperature around chiller: 1.5 C
Chiller Area is 45 m2

heat load excessive or cooling capacity insufficient.

[Bharat812]

No excessive heat load because it is under recirculation mode from tank to chiller to tank. Cooling capacity is sufficient because liquid ammonia from condenser is at 38 C

Huh? I am not an ammonia guy but this dosnt seem to make sense, someone please explain

[NoNickName]

Both concept don't make sense at all.

So, what is the heat load then


Cooling capacity is sufficient because liquid ammonia from condenser is at 38 C

I can't see any relation between liquid temperature and cooling capacity
