Chillers convert either electric power or thermal power in the form of hot water supplied by a CHP or boiler into cooling thermal power.
Inputs
Rated Capacity
| Tag | Key | Description |
| Chiller | rated_capacity | The maximum cooling power capacity of the chiller in tons of cooling. |
Maximum Rated Capacity
| Tag | Key | Description |
| Chiller | max_rated_capacity | The maximum rated cooling power capacity of the chiller in tons of cooling that a size optimization is allowed to output when doing size optimization. |
Minimum Rated Capacity
| Tag | Key | Description |
| Chiller | min_rated_capacity | The minimum rated cooling power capacity of the chiller in tons of cooling that a size optimization is allowed to output when doing size optimization. |
Power Source
| Tag | Key | Description |
| Chiller | power_source | The type of input energy that powers the chiller. Either 'electricity', 'natural gas', or 'heat'. |
COP
| Tag | Key | Description |
| Chiller | coefficient_of_performance | The ratio of output cooling power of the chiller to the input power, whatever the power source. The higher this number is, the more efficient the chiller is. |
