Introduction : Centralized systems are defined as those in which the
cooling (chilled water) is generated in a chiller at one base location and distributed to air-handling units or fan-coil units located through out the building spaces. The air is cooled with secondary media Central air conditioning systems serve multiple spaces from one base location. These typically use chilled water as a cooling medium and use extensive ductwork for air distribution.
Sub systems of centralized AC
a) Chilled water plant b) Condenser water system c) Air delivery system
Chilled Water System
The chilled water system supplies chilled water for the cooling needs of all the buildings air-handling units (AHUs)
The system includes a chilled water pump which circulates the chilled water through the chillers evaporator section and through the cooling coils of the AHUs.
