The standard operating procedure outlines the steps for installing loggers to monitor a chiller's power usage, water temperatures, and flow rate over set periods. Loggers are installed on the chiller distribution board to record power usage for a week, and thermocouples are attached to supply and return chilled water pipes to log temperatures. A flowmeter is also installed on the chilled water supply pipe for 24 hours to measure flow rate, which involves determining pipe diameters and properly configuring and positioning the sensor.

General Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P) for Chiller Logging.
Logger Installation: i. Install power logger on the chiller distribution board to monitor the power usage to generate the chiller. ii. Install Thermocouple Temperature Datalogger, KTT at supply and return chilled water pipe for the period of 1 weeks. This is to record the chilled water temperature.
Flowmeter Installation: iii. Install a flowmeter on chilled water supply pipe (CWSP) for a period of 24 hours. iv. Auditor shall measure the circumference of the CWSP. From the measurement, outer diameter of the CWSP will be obtained. v. Outer cover of CWSP will be cut in specific length. Next, auditor will measure the thickness of the insulator. This process is to get the diameter of the inner CWS pipe. vi. After obtaining inner pipe diameter, flowmeter will be configure based on pipe chart inside flowmeter manual. It will automatically determine sensor installation distance and type of mounting. vii. Based on the flowmeter configuration, auditor shall install the sensor on the inner pipe surface with specific distance between sensor and its mounting type. viii. Auditor will setup the flowmeter for data logging and leave the flowmeter for a duration of 24 hours.
