      I am by no means a “chiller tech” yet. Came across this chiller last week during an inspection. Logging info and visually checking things out. Needless to say the strainer needed cleaning.

      What should this YK evap approach be? The chiller next to this one had an evap approach of 1. Pressure differential on both chillers was 8.

        • I like to see 1-2 on evap if conditions are good especially if tubes are thin and has a high FPI ( fins per inch) but if the condenser water is cool it may stack a little and cause it to swing, also depends where liquid level is in relation to liquid level setpoint

          Love
