Chiller Load Calculator

2 air handlers × 55,000 CFM · 2 × 250-ton chillers · Qt = 4.5 × CFM × Δh

Inputs

Below 55% lowers the discharge setpoint.

110,000 CFM total at 100%.

Enthalpy computed from these.

100 = fully open

100 = fully closed

Target enthalpy is derived from these.

Cooling Load

tons
— BTU/hr

Capacity limits — to stay at/under plant tonnage

Plant capacity
Headroom
Max Δh above target
Max mixed enthalpy
Max outside-air enthalpy
Max return-air enthalpy

At the current airflow & mix. OA/RA ceilings assume the other stream stays where it is.
