Chiller Performance Measurement

Chiller Performance Measurement

Overview

The performance assessment of a chiller plant involves calculating the cooling capacity delivered by the system and measuring the power consumed by the unit. Key performance indicators such as Specific Power Consumption (SPC – kW/TR) and Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) are used to evaluate the electrical energy input against the cooling output delivered by the system. At Limbaja Energy, we provide Chiller Audit Services in Gujarat for industries across Gujarat and India. Our Chiller Performance Assessment and Chiller Energy Audit Services include measuring critical parameters such as flow rate, temperature, and power on both the chilled water and refrigeration sides of the system. These assessments help improve chiller efficiency, reduce energy consumption, optimize HVAC performance, and lower operating costs.

Refrigeration Effect

Formula

  • Refrigeration Effect (TR) = (Flow(Q) × Cp × (Ti – T0)) / 3024

Where:

  • Q = Flow Rate m3/s
  • Cp = Specific Heat kcal/kg deg C
  • Ti = Inlet Temperature (Deg C)
  • T0 = Outlet Temperature (Deg C)

Scope of Work

Review of present HVAC system like Chillers, central AC, window AC, split AC, package AC, Water Coolers, Cooling Towers, AHUs, Insulation System, Chilled Water Pumps, Condenser Water Pumps and Air Heaters etc.(More than 3 HP)
Performance assessment of & Estimation of actual tonnage of HVAC system and comparison of actual parameters with the design values and corrective actions.

Detailed Energy Audit

Energy Audit is defined as “the verification, monitoring and analysis of use of energy including submission of technical report containing recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce energy consumption”. It builds on the principle "you can't manage what you don't measure". It essentially combines the principles of energy use and statistics.

Harmonic Analysis

Harmonic analysis is a technique used to study and analyze the harmonic components in electrical power systems. It helps identify the presence and impact of harmonic currents and voltages, which are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency and are commonly generated by non-linear loads such as power electronics, variable speed drives, and certain lighting systems. At Limbaja Energy, we provide Harmonic Analysis Services in Gujarat for industries across Gujarat and India. Our Power Quality Analysis and Electrical Harmonic Study Services help identify harmonic distortion, improve power quality, protect sensitive equipment, and enhance the reliability and efficiency of electrical systems. We also recommend effective harmonic mitigation solutions to reduce power losses and ensure stable system performance.

Compressor Air Flow Audit

A compressed air audit helps identify system inefficiencies, reduce energy costs, and improve the overall performance of compressed air systems. Many industrial air compressors operate inefficiently due to air leaks, artificial demand, pressure losses, and incorrect operating pressures, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption and increased operating costs. At Limbaja Energy, we provide Compressor Audit Services in Gujarat for industries across Gujarat and India. Our Compressed Air Energy Audit Services include compressor efficiency assessments, performance analysis, and compressed air system optimization to identify energy-saving opportunities, improve system reliability, reduce power consumption, and maximize the efficiency of industrial compressed air systems.
