Abstract
The present invention improves efficiency, and thereby save energy, in compressed fluid types of cooling systems, avoids instability in chiller controls, and thus provides for stable operation of a chiller in a cooling system, and provides a novel, improved single-circuit, chilled fluid cooling system that incorporates a variable flow chilled water distribution system without encountering control instability while obviating the need for constant high flow rates through a chiller by providing methods and apparatus for stable operation at reduced and variable flows.
