Closed loop chiller system having single pass recycled water loop

Abstract

A system for using recycled water to cool a condenser includes a water reclamation source. A water cooled condenser receives the recycled water. The received water has a first temperature. A second water at a second temperature, greater than the first temperature, is input to the water cooled condenser. The condenser heats the recycled water with the refrigerant to a third temperature greater than the first temperature and less than the second temperature, and inputs recycled water at the third temperature to the water reclamation source and lowers the temperature of the refrigerant to a fourth temperature less than the second temperature.

1 . A system for using recycled water to cool condenser in a chiller comprises:
 a water reclamation source for sourcing recycled water;   a water cooled condenser receives the recycled water from the water reclamation source, recycled water having a first temperature; the a water cooled condenser receiving a refrigerant, the second water having a second temperature, greater than the first temperature, the condenser heating the recycled water with the refrigerant to a third temperature greater than the first temperature and less than the second temperature, and inputs recycled water at the third temperature to the water reclamation source, and lowers the temperature of the refrigerant to a fourth temperature less than the second temperature.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein refrigerant is water returned from an HVAC system for commercial building, a data center or other large cooling operations.
