The TEWI (Total Equivalent Warming<br />
Impact) takes into account the sum of<br />
direct (GWP contribution of refrigerant<br />
leaks during installation and disposal)<br />
and indirect (contribution of CO2<br />
emissions resulting from energy<br />
consumption to operate the plant)<br />
emissions of greenhouse gases. If the<br />
refrigerant loss is minimized, then the<br />
influence of the GWP in the TEWI is very<br />
low. A comparison of the main physical<br />
data is shown in Table 1.<br />
Turbo or Screw<br />
The semi-hermetical screw compressors<br />
are in the power range up to 2200<br />
kW, depending on the refrigerant, the<br />
operating conditions and number of<br />
compressors. They show a wide range<br />
of operation, they can be used with the<br />
default configuration; varying flow<br />
temperatures of -8 ° C to 15 ° C with<br />
cooling water outlet temperatures of<br />
up to 55 ° C. The performance adjustment<br />
should be continuously adjustable<br />
from 25 to 100% of the standard<br />
cooling capacity, a flow temperature<br />
control is to be considered as prior art.<br />
Compressors are started via the<br />
star-delta, to reduce the starting<br />
current a soft start can be used, more<br />
recently, frequency converters are<br />
used. McQuay semi-hermetic-turbo<br />
compressors are used in the power<br />
range from 900 to 4500 kW. Since a<br />
maximum of two compressors can be<br />
used in a refrigeration circuit, a capacity<br />
of up to 9 MW can be achieved. Each<br />
turbo chiller is based on a projectspecific<br />
configuration; the selection of<br />
the main components such as motors,<br />
compressors, gears and gear ratios,<br />
impeller and heat exchangers is dependent<br />
on the operating conditions. For<br />
this reason, as well as flooded evaporation,<br />
which requires an exact Refrigerant<br />
charge, varying operating points<br />
Table 1<br />
are not quite as arbitrary as with screw<br />
chillers and must be verified for the<br />
configuration. The adjustable power<br />
control from 10 to 100% is best carried<br />
out using the inlet guide vane setting<br />
via oil pressure. The turbine can be<br />
started via star / delta or soft-start, by<br />
mounting an optional VFD (Variable<br />
Frequency Drive, frequency converter)<br />
corresponding to the starting current,<br />
respective to the operating current<br />
(Figure 1). Again, the VFD will significantly<br />
contribute to an increase in the<br />
ESEER / IPLV, through the loss dissipation<br />
of the frequency converter; however<br />
the 100% EER decreases by about<br />
2.5%. In Table 2 a comparison of<br />
different Chillers at different operating<br />
points and cooling systems can be<br />
seen.<br />
Cooling Towers<br />
When it comes to cooling towers everyone<br />
has probably one of those big<br />
steaming power generation plant<br />
cooling towers in mind. For a large<br />
portion of the cooling tower processes,<br />
standard cooling towers are implemented.<br />
However, they perform their job in<br />

most instances well concealed and can<br />
only be seen when taking a closer look<br />
at the roofs. Often, cooling tower<br />
issues of are placed in the background,<br />
even with respect to: The relatively<br />
small cost compared to the cooling<br />
system, although the choice of an<br />
appropriate process, system, tuning of<br />
the refrigeration unit and integration<br />
into the overall system has a significant<br />
impact on the efficiency of the overall<br />
system.<br />
Distinction between the<br />
methods of heat transfer<br />
to the outside<br />
Basically, two methods are used to<br />
dissipate the excess heat to the<br />
environment. Dry cooling transfers the<br />
heat to the surrounding air by the<br />
temperature gradient of the coolant to<br />
ambient air temperature. Accordingly,<br />
the high temperature of the cooling<br />
medium of approx. 45/40 ° C is<br />
assumed when designing for the<br />
