Condenser water flow
600 GPM
Chiller capacity
200 tons
Flow factor
3 GPM/ton
Approx heat rejection
30,00,000 BTU/hr
Formula and working
GPM = Tons × gpmPerTon
- 1
Collect the inputs
Chiller capacity = 200 tons; Flow rate factor = 3 GPM/ton
- 2
Apply the formula
GPM = Tons × gpmPerTon
- 3
Result
Condenser water flow = 600 GPM
