The topic of low return water temperature in chilled water systems is very complex. It can be related to the classic “chicken and the egg” story–which came first?
Low return water temperatures do exist in some HVAC systems. Is it because of the type of system design? Is it because of the way the system is designed? Is it because of the equipment selected for the system? Is it because of the way the system is installed? Is it because of the way the system is operated? Is it because of the way the system is maintained?
The answer is any one of the above reasons, several of the above reasons, or all of the above reasons. So before we get into the forensics of curing an existing system with low return water temperature, let’s review the proper design techniques for modern chilled water systems. Proper design, up front, alleviates the need to treat symptoms later.
