In the context of a centrifugal refrigeration system, what would you check if the system is not operating correctly?

In a centrifugal refrigeration system, one of the critical aspects to check if the system is not operating correctly is the water flow rates. This is because centrifugal chillers rely on a consistent flow of water to transfer heat away from the system’s evaporator. If the flow rates are too low, it can lead to insufficient heat exchange, causing the system to overheat and perform poorly.

Maintaining the proper water flow rates ensures efficient operation and helps prevent issues such as freezing or excessive strain on the pump. Therefore, monitoring this aspect of the system is crucial for troubleshooting and maintaining optimal efficiency in centrifugal refrigeration systems.
