The Efficiency Silent Killer “Low Delta T” syndrome is a common operational defect in large chilled water systems where the difference between the supply and return water temperatures is smaller than the design intent. This causes the chiller plant to pump excessive amounts of water, leading to wasted energy and preventing chillers from reaching their full cooling capacity.
Hydronic Balancing Solutions Correcting this requires a deep dive into the facility’s hydronics. We specialize in the installation of Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICVs) and the recalibration of secondary pumping systems. By ensuring that each AHU only receives the flow it needs, we restore the Delta T to design specifications, often reducing pumping energy costs by 20% or more.
Signs Your Facility Has Low Delta T:
- Chillers are running at part-load while pumps are at 100%.
- Additional chillers are being staged on even though the cooling load is low.
- Inconsistent cooling in remote wings of a commercial complex.
