    Chiller operation best practice



    Hey guy's
    I work at a facility with multiple chiller plants, they are typically manually controlled and I have been asked to program our BAS system to controll the chiller in one plant. I intend to run the chilled water pumps for freeze protection and obviously for chiller operation, I intend to run the chiller any time the OAT > 50 degF and the building is occupied and any of the space temperatures are above set point. I also intend to run the chiller when the OAT > 50 the building is not occupied and the temperature at any sensor is > 80 degF. and lastly I intend to run it any time the OAT is > 50 and the lab temp is high or the lab Rh is high. What do you guys think? am I on the right track? missing anything obvious? any suggestions or comments will be appreciated

    don't forget 15 minute pump over run. Ie. if you disable the chiller, pumps carry on for 15 minutes as there may still be a refrigerating effect occuring as refrigerant stabalizes.
