Focuses on the main factors influencing chiller operation, including chilled water temperature, cooling water temperature and start-stop control. Puts forward the corresponding measures to achieve operation optimization for chillers, including properly increasing outlet temperature of chilled water and/or lowering outlet temperature of cooling water, rationally regulating start-up sequence of  chillers and water pumps with intelligent control strategies, and predicting minimum preheating/precooling period and maximum advanced stop time by BP network to perform optimal on-off control for compressors.
