Hi there,
I have to control a water chiller in order to obtain a +/-1°C water temperature by utilizing four steps of control.
(25%, 50%, 75% and 100%). I have a set of data that represents the current performance of the existing system. Is there a way to analyze this data to obtain the best time/temperature differentials to operate these steps of capacity control?
Regards
