Determine if chiller temperature control requires tuning

Applicable Systems

  • Primary: CHLR

Objective/Method/Outcome

  • Objective: Determine the performance index of a chilled water supply temperature control system using the amount of time the CHWST is not within the desired set point.
  • Method: Calculate the performance metric based on the total time the CHWST is not within the desired set point during occupied hours.
  • Outcome: An insight is generated if the CHWST is not within the desired set point for more than 4 hours per week.

Logic

  • This rule sums the number of times the system is outside of the acceptable range within a week. Since the aggregation interval is set to 15 minutes, every time the control loop is outside of range is treated at 1/4 of an hour.
  • Sum over course of a Week(number of 15-minute intervals outside of range)
Determine if chiller temperature control requires tuning

Inputs

  • CHWST {sensor, leaving, chilled, water, temp} (Real Trend Log)
  • CHWST SP {sp, leaving, chilled, water, temp} (Real Trend Log)
  • Occ {occupied} (Binary Trend Log)

Parameters

  • CHWST_TIR_ERR: Records the number of hours the CHWST has been outside of an acceptable range of its set point.
