    You shall need Temp difference i.e. cooling water from Which temp to desired temp. If the entire water is to be cooled in the tank, what is te time for cooling from its high temp to low temp. Then the calculations are very easy

    Re: Industrial water chiller

    The heat laod shall be

    GPM x Delta T / 24
    (5000 / 6 /60) x 25 / 24 = 14.6 TR

    But how does the water come to the chiller. You shall need a scheme to cool that water with a delta T of max 10 Deg F ( Or a Plate Heat exchanger to achieve that high Delta T across the evaporator

    Re: Industrial water chiller

    Hi, my friend, a lot of thanks to you, I had simillar case this week and even bigger system, as I was given flow rate of water 70liter/sec, this seem too big to me , as they have water tank of volume capacity of 36000liter,delta T will be 17 Deg C , this chiller water inlet will be 45Deg and out let temp 28 Deg C , I am confusing should I use the given flowrate to calculate the cooling capacity or I have to deal with tank capacity only to select the chiller capacity? I would like to share your rich experience on this issues as Iam dealing with water chiller for the first time, this system water wil be coming from even cooling tower before entering to chiller at temp.45Deg C.
