Are there any new operating or maintenance issues that should be considered with an OptimumHVAC chiller plant?
Yes. Because these plants operate at reduced condenser water flows at low loads, there is the possibility of a greater rate of condenser tube fouling than with a conventional plant in some configurations. Because the flow is variable, it is difficult to precisely plan the frequency of required tube cleaning of an OptimumHVAC plant. This is one of the many reasons for the OptimumMVM service that comes with the installation.
