Abstract
The purpose of the invention is to provide a control device that can calculate the lower limit of cooling water inlet temperature according to the operation status of a chiller. A control device comprises: a lower limit calculation unit that calculates the lower limit of cooling water outlet temperature, where a prescribed required temperature difference is added to the cooling water outlet temperature of a chiller, and an inlet-outlet required temperature difference, which is the difference between the cooling water outlet temperature and the cooling water inlet temperature in the chiller and which is generated according to the operation status of the chiller, and that calculates a cooling water inlet temperature lower limit calculated value for the chiller by subtracting the inlet-outlet required temperature difference from the cooling water outlet temperature lower limit value; and a lower limit value determination unit that fixes the cooling water inlet temperature lower limit calculated value as the cooling water inlet temperature lower limit value.
