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 />
