10.4 PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT<br />
Specific power c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>, kW/TR, is a useful indicator of the performance<br />
of a refrigerati<strong>on</strong> system. By measuring refrigerati<strong>on</strong> duty performed in TR and<br />
the kW input, kW/TR is brought out as a performance indicator and used as a<br />
reference energy performance indicator.<br />
The refrigerati<strong>on</strong> TR is assessed as<br />
where<br />
TR = Q ×Cp × (Ti – To) / 3024<br />
TR is cooling TR effect produced<br />
Q is mass flow rate of coolant in kg/hr<br />
Cp is coolant specific heat in kCal/kg/ º C<br />
Ti is inlet temperature of coolant to evaporator (chiller) in º C<br />
To is outlet temperature of coolant from evaporator (chiller) in º C<br />
Power c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong><br />
In a centralized chilled water system, apart from the compressor unit,<br />
power is also c<strong>on</strong>sumed by the chilled water (sec<strong>on</strong>dary) coolant pump as well<br />
as the c<strong>on</strong>denser water (for heat rejecti<strong>on</strong> to cooling tower) pump and cooling<br />
tower fan in the cooling tower. Effectively, the overall energy c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong><br />
would be towards:<br />
• Compressor kW<br />
• Chilled water pump kW<br />
