Water side economizer
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-030120
A water side economizer reduces energy consumption in cooling mode by allowing the chiller to be turned off when the cooling tower alone can produce water at the desired chilled water set point. The cooling tower system, rather than the chiller, provides the cold water for cooling.
