Chillers Control System: Principles, Design, and Optimization
About this ebook
“Chillers Control System: Principles, Design, and Optimization” was written to bridge the knowledge gap between mechanical systems and digital intelligence. As chilled water systems grow more complex—with multiple chillers, variable-speed drives, advanced sensors, and energy optimization requirements—engineers and facility managers must understand not just how chillers work, but how they are controlled.
This book serves as a practical and technical guide for HVAC engineers, control system designers, energy managers, and building automation specialists. It covers both fundamental control concepts and advanced strategies for optimizing chiller performance. Drawing on decades of field experience, design insights, and real-world case studies, it aims to provide readers with actionable knowledge for planning, implementing, and maintaining effective chiller control systems.
Whether you're upgrading an aging plant, designing a new chilled water system, or fine-tuning performance for energy savings, the insights offered in these chapters will help you make informed decisions. With the increasing emphasis on sustainability, energy efficiency, and smart buildings, mastering chiller control is no longer optional—it is essential.
I hope this book empowers you with the understanding and confidence to build systems that are not only functional, but future-ready.
