Hello,

My client has some really old banger of a chiller that every year needs so many thousand pounds worth of work done to it. Components keeps failing, faults keep getting thrown up, and there has been arguably no maintenance carried out on it (inside where the coils and heat exchanger are it looks like beetlejuices house).

Basically, our client is pretty stubborn, and all engineer recommendations seem to get ignored, so I'm looking to put together a report, detailing the energy consumption of the current chiller, compared with the new energy efficient bad boys that are available.

....so how do I do it......all the nameplate stickers on the chiller are long gone. I'm assuming I would need to look into the electricity (in. kW) both compressors and all the fan motors consume, compare that with the cooling capacity of the chiller, and there I have my efficiency ratio.....then compare to new chillers. Then I can turn all this consumed energy into financial figures by looking at the local energy tarrifs. yay/nay?

Any help would be great guys

Cheers,

Halfcan.
