Shannondell at Valley Forge required an immediate solution to the excessive noise from its rooftop unit on the Bradford Clubhouse & Performing Arts Theatre.
The ChillerVu chilled water system optimizer extends control efficiencies beyond the chiller plant and improves the efficiency of the entire chilled water system, including air-handling units, fan coils, and other chilled water distribution equipment.
To help chilled water systems reach their efficiency potential, Carrier® has further enhanced the ChillerVu™ plant control system to include the new chilled water system optimizer.
The WebCTRL chilled water system optimizer minimizes the energy use of the entire chilled water system in a commercial building, including air-handling units, fan coils, and other chilled water distribution equipment. The optimizer solution consists of an Automated Logic controller, a patent pending control algorithm, and an integrated dashboard that allows facilities staff to monitor the overall efficiency of the chilled water system from anywhere at any time.
An investment in a new chiller is not one that building owners make lightly. Owners typically need and appreciate the guidance of a knowledgeable HVAC contractor when making this purchase as there are a number of factors that go into the selection process, and not all of them are necessarily related to the actual chiller itself.
Representing a key milestone in its growth strategy

Geoclima announced that they earned the trusted AHRI Certified® mark, an assurance of the product’s performance, for the water cooled range of products as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
University of Alabama at Birmingham obtained an annual energy savings of $60,000 after Bernhard TME Engineering (TME) optimized the university’s district chilled water system. The chilled water is distributed to 48 buildings on campus to supply the air conditioning systems in the hot and humid southeastern U.S.
For building owners looking to install new chillers or replace an existing system, the options can be daunting, but selecting the most appropriate chiller for an individual application does not have to be complicated.
HVAC chiller manufacturers are offering a range of products in multiple configurations that use new refrigerants, consume less energy, communicate more effectively, can be serviced more easily, and may be designed to fit a wide range of applications.
