3.6.5.  Chiller selection 
This section describes how to choose the chiller. The chiller is able to extract the heat from 
the motor losses with the water circulation. 
 
The motor losses (= power to extracted by the chiller) depend on the efficiency and motor 
power :  
 
With   Pc : Power to evacuate by the chiller (kW) 
    Pn : Motor rated power (kW) 
     : Motor efficiency at rated power (%) 
 
Refer to the respective torque motor data sheet for nominal power, efficiency and water flow. 
Chiller  pump  must  provide  water  flow  through  motor  and  pipe  pressure  drop.  Inlet 
temperature must be lower than 65°C. 
 
Example 
Motor : GVM210-050-QQW (see §3.2.1) 
Rated power = 21.2 kW 
Efficiency = 95,3% 
Water flow = 1,51 l/min 
 
   1,04 kW 
 
So, the chiller must extract 1,04 kW and have a water flow of 1,51 l/min for a  
GVM210-050-QQW
