When we refer to a system as loading or unloading we are referring to it changing it’s capacities. These systems have large tonnages it wouldn’t make sense to have a 100 ton unit always run at 100 tons, on cooler days when the system only requires 30 tons. Therefore these systems have controls that allow for varying capacities. Whenever a system changes it capacity on the way up we call this loading and when it’s capacity is changing on the way down we call this unloading.

The best way to escape a problem is to solve it.

When the chiller is starting to do work - cool the medium (water). When it is unloaded, it isn't doing any cooling.
