What does CHWR stand for?

• A. Condenser water return
• B. Chilled water supply
• C. Chilled water return
• D. District cooling return

Answer: (C)

Chilled water return is the return leg of the chilled-water loop. CHW denotes chilled water, and the R indicates return—the water after it has circulated through the building’s cooling coils and is headed back to the chiller to be cooled again. In a typical chilled-water system, there’s a supply path from the chiller to the building and a return path from the building back to the chiller. The other options point to unrelated parts of the systems: condenser water return belongs to the condenser loop, chilled water supply would be CHWS, and district cooling return is part of a district cooling arrangement, not the building’s CHW loop.
