Chilled
Water Packaged Pumping Systems - Variable Primary Flow Systems (VPF)
Variable
Primary Flow Chilled Water Packaged Pumping System
The Model VPF, Variable Primary Flow Chilled Water Packaged Pumping
System is a UL-listed factory assembled and tested system used in
conventional building cooling systems which utilizes Chilled Water
as the cooling source. The VPF provides significant power savings
by use of a variable speed pump to simultaneously provide water to
the chiller and to the building system. Variable Frequency Drives
automatically control the speed of the pumps based on actual building
system demand. Typically, Differential Pressure Transmitters are placed
across building cooling system zones. The transmitters signal to the
VPF System Controller which controls a Variable Frequency Drive for
each variable speed, chilled water pump. Minimum required chiller
flow is automatically maintained by a flow meter mounted on the inlet
of each chiller. The system chillers cool the chilled water to 44oF
and are automatically staged on/off based on actual building system
demand from controllers energy consumption monitor. Actual building
system energy consumption is displayed on the controller's touch screen
operator interface. The Model VPF provides air-free chilled water,
while automatically refilling under normal system losses. The VPF
also allows for system thermal expansion based on the building system
volume. A UL-listed System Controller with single-point power connection
is pre-wired to all electrical sources. Variable Frequency Drives
may incorporate Manual or Automatic bypasses. Each system is custom
engineered and designed to meet specific system requirements. All
systems are fabricated and welded per ASME Section IX Code and Standards,
and are Hydrostatically tested prior to shipment. The Model VPF speeds
installation and start-up of building cooling systems which provide
significant savings to contractors, engineers, and building owners.
