What does CHWS stand for?

• A. Chilled water sensor
• B. Chilled water temperature
• C. Chilled water storage
• D. Chilled water supply

Answer: (D)

CHWS stands for Chilled Water Supply, the portion of the chilled-water loop that delivers cooled water from the chiller to the cooling coils and air handling units. This designation clarifies the direction of flow and helps distinguish the supply leg from the return leg, which brings water back to be re-cooled. It’s not a sensor or a temperature tag, and in typical HVAC documentation the supply/return pair is labeled to reflect their roles in the loop, making CHWS the appropriate label for the active supply path.
