Pressure Drop Curves

Minimum Allowable Flow Rates

In order to maximize energy savings from variable flow systems, the AGZD chiller employs different
control strategies for constant-f low chilled water systems as compared to variable-flow systems.
A chiller controller setpoint selects the proper controller operation. The software setting of Variable
Evap. Flow equals YES or NO is located just below the "Full Cap D-T" setting screen.
The Full Cap D-T setting will continue to allow settings from 6 to 16 F Delta-T for full load operation.
Constant-Chilled Water Flow Systems
The minimum allowable flow is determined by the chiller model. Operating with flows below these
values can cause unstable operation.
Variable-Chilled Water Flow Systems
For models AGZ 025D through AGZ 130D the part load flow rate in a variable chilled water flow
system is 40% of nominal catalog full load flow (rated catalog tons x 2.4 = full load GPM). These
minimum allowable flows are calculated to allow the chilled water flow to decrease progressively as
the unit capacity decreases, but is restricted to 40% of rated full load flow.
The larger AGZ 140D to190D units have shell and tube evaporators and will operate at the same
minimum flow rate as for constant flow (62.5% of nominal catalog full load flow rate.)
When "Variable Evap Flow" is selected as YES – the unit software will increase the control band
progressively as the unit capacity steps to the lower stages of 75%, 50% and 25% load for the four
compressors. This prevents short cycling and allows for decreasing minimum water flow as the unit
capacity decreases. The 6 compressor units will have a similar operation but with software
calculations based on 6 capacity steps.
Refer to Table 8 on page 11 for the allowable reduced minimum flows.
