Chiller COP Improvement
I know that the COP of Chillers (electric and heat driven) can be improved and achieved by decreasing the condenser and evaporator pressures. Are there other ways to do it?

Re: Chiller COP Improvement
No, it can be achieved by decreasing the condensing pressure and increasing the evaporating pressure.
Other means to improve it are:
1) reducing the pressure drops across the plant (better pipe design)
2) improve the compressor volumetric efficiency and reduce the blow-by
3) keep the load as constant as possible over time and season
4) improve the insulation around the cold parts of the circuit, from evaporator to suction
5) increase the subcooling
