What are the benefits of using multiple chillers in a parallel chiller system?

Using multiple chillers in a parallel chiller system provides redundancy in the HVAC design, ensuring that the system can still operate even if one chiller fails or is taken offline for maintenance. Additionally, multiple chillers can improve overall system part-load performance and reduce energy consumption. This is because each chiller can operate at a more efficient part-load condition, reducing the overall system’s energy usage.
