awesome observation! i can go to sleep today! I've attended 100's of hazzard/operational analysis meetings and that is a Least Common Denominator no one had pointed out to me before!
the great pretender thanks for your reply;
1) 1 of the 5 chillers will be variable speed
2) 5500 tons
3) 4 chillers
4) 5 pumps
5) we have added load onto the chiller plant
the pumps are headered and the chillers are different sizes. Bypass line design is by me, so what I find out to be the best scenario will be the answer.
I am adding chillers and pumps to an existing variable primary chiller plant. We will have different size chillers and pumps in the common loop. Does anyone have experience with this configuration?
