Presentation Abstract
Variable primary flow is being adopted in chilled water system design with increasing frequency as a lower cost, more
efficient alternative to primary/secondary design that is not as susceptible to low delta T syndrome. Subtopics include a
review of variable primary flow and primary/secondary system types; causes and effects of low delta T syndrome and
potential remedies; design considerations for variable primary flow, and, comparisons of variable primary flow and
primary/secondary flow taken from case study and research literature.
