12.7 Summary
Existing central plant systems use many arrangements and control methods. Not all of these are satisfactory in performance and most use excessive pumping and equipment energy. Obviously, there is ample opportunity for improvement in system design and control. This chapter is by no means a comprehensive study and the reader should refer to other more detailed references such as the ASHRAE Handbook, Systems volume, Bahnfleth, 1976 and Haines, Jan. and Dec, 1981, in the bibliography.
