| Abstract: | A process computer was installed in a large integrated nylon plant in 1976. This dedicated chilled water management system was designed to optimize the operation of chillers and to reduce their energy costs. The computer system was also configured to provide maximum visibility of the operating parameters, machine efficiencies, instrumentation integrity checks, historical data, and energy usage accounting. This paper describes details of the control and optimization strategies, including the overall benefits of the system based on five years of successful operating experience. |
