Flow boils down to pressure differential. You will have flow through the line with the greatest differential. High to low, hot to cold....these are hard facts with fluid and thermodynamics. Temp/pressure differential= flow Closely spaced Tee's are also important so that the flow through the common pipe is minimized to what you need/want. I know there is manufacturer specific ratings....but I found a good "rule of thumb" is 3 GPM per ton

ASHRAE standard is 2.4 on evap, with 3 you’d be golden on pretty much everything as a base. I have seen them add bypass valves, because they usually put too small of a pump on the secondary lol is this common down there, or do you guys have better engineers lol?

Years back, I cracked a tube because I forgot to run water through the unit on one of these big trane water cooled chillers.It's food push pulling, and my small advise is run your pump to circulate water though the heat exchangers, unless if the unit hasn't received water in it yet. As soon as your refrigerant saturation temperature is in the negative the water will freeze up, the water will iceup and the ice will swell and stress the tubes or plate until it ruptures.
@TheChillerGuysАй бұрын
Oh man… that stinks brother, I would agree man. I would add to that and say even if it never had water in it you need to still be cautious. A co worker of mine had a brand new knock down unit from the factory not even piped in yet. He got it assembled, got his vacuum pulled, and dumped in the charge, and froze up the machine. Come to find out the tubes had a little bit of water left in them from the whiteness test at the factory, and he had to retune the machine.. stuff happens man. I appreciate you sharing.

@TheChillerGuys ✌️ it's a pleasure. I managed to plug the tube that cracked with a brass tapered bullet/plug, flushed the system and pulled vacuum and Brock it with nitrogen as many times as I had to until the system was moisture free (the pressure test went fine). 😅then commissioned with 12 eyes wide open.

@TheChillerGuysАй бұрын
If I were you, I would start with the following: Shut the pump off, check all of the water strainers on the loop make sure they are all clean, check all of the tower nozzles, make sure they aren't plugged up, make sure your tower fill is working, and that the level is set properly, make sure the condenser vessel, pumps, and piping is bled, and actually has water getting there. double check all of the isolation valves, and make sure no one left something closed from a winter service. make sure your pump is rotating the correct direction. Its likely one of the issues above, if this doesn't work, then explain the piping configuration a little more. for example: "goes from the cooling tower to the pump to the chiller then back out to the tower spray nozzles." let me know if there are any control valves, or anything else in the loop. also, is this a new or existing problem? are you tripping on flow at startup, or high head pressure?

@@TheChillerGuys pipe goes from cooling tower - swing valve - 90 valve - y strainer - pump case volute - 90 valve - INtake condenser centrifugal type Trane - and pipe goes OUT all of way back on top of Cooling tower. Strainer were clean, nozzle on top of tower is ok, swing valve also free of any blockage, I removed air from a pipe that goes before pump. But on a way after pump volute to condenser IN I’m not sure if I correctly bled air. Closed 90 valve (after pump) at same time another 90 valve before pump is fully open, started pump and it’s started making a pressure up to 50 psi, I opened one bolt on a pump so air in volute can escape, and opened half way valve on condenser, after that I slowly opened 90 valve on 10 percent, pressure started dropping to 20 psi and after some time gauge is showing 5-10 psi, meaning that pump not making any pressure. I think problem might be in bleeding after pump to condenser.

@@TheChillerGuys Pump is above a tower. Tower full of water, and after I started pump it should take a water continuously from tower thru swing valve to pump intake, but instead it seems like pipe becomes empty after 15 seconds ( on its way where it’s equal top level of tower to pump intake). It didn’t pull a water from tower, and tower started to overflow on ground. I’ve repeated process filling water in pipe, removing air, starting pump, and it’s shows same thing over and over (cooling tower overfilled, and pipe hollow on its way from tower water line to pump intake. Even though I’ve checked possible blockage in pipe, swing valve looks normal and operational, it’s still possible that something blocking water from getting to pump intake. Good to know that this type of system will bled the air from pump to condenser on its own, as long as pump inlet will have solid column of water.
@TheChillerGuysАй бұрын
@@user-fh4uq1bj9o correct, with your pump located higher than the tower, to me it sounds like you just don't have a solid column of water to the pump intake. Are you able to isolate the piping from the tower and backfill the pump and the rest of the system with a garden hose, vent every bit of air you can, then try and start the pump, and open the inlet valve at the same time? If you can get a few ft of water moving, the weight of the water will sometimes be enough to push the little bit of air in the piping out and keep your pump primed. i have had jobs like this where the check valve is bad, or the pump is doing too much lift. See if you can get it online doing what i mentioned above, if that works, then test the check valve by shutting it down, you should not loose your prime, and when you shut it down, water should not be flowing back to the tower, otherwise the check valve is probably seized, or it has debris in it, holding it open. If your still having issues, shoot me an email, with a hand drawn photo of the system piping, and I can try and help you out more, I don't think its possible to send photos in the youtube comments. let me know man
