Industrial chiller cooling capacity calculation

TL;DR: Accurately sizing your industrial chiller is essential to avoid production bottlenecks or wasted energy. By using the fundamental thermodynamic formula $Q = \dot{m} \times C_p \times \Delta T$, facility engineers can precisely determine their required cooling load. Always remember to add a 15-20% safety margin to account for ambient heat gains and future production expansions. Content: One of the most frequent and costly mistakes made during the procurement of an Industrial Process Chiller is improper sizing. Guessing the required cooling capacity invariably leads to two disastrous scenarios: under-sizing results in the chiller running continuously without ever reaching the setpoint, causing severe production delays and compromised product quality; over-sizing leads to "short-cyclin...
