    Optimum Condenser Water Temperatures

    The 85F (29.4C) cooling water temperature happens to be the ARI rating condition for chiller packages. ARI also stipulates 3 gpm/ton (53L/s/MW) condenser flow for this rating condition. The purpose of the ARI standard (550/590-98) to to ensure that there is a benchmark by which chiller packages...
