Calculation of the energy consumption of a realised NH3-brine plant and comparison of the calculation with metered values.

Summary

In the scope of the presented research, the energy consumptions of an indirect NH3 refrigerating plant were calculated. During the first year, the plant was operated with dry drycoolers, but later on it was changed over to heat dissipation by means of wet cooling towers. The electric energy consumptions of both heat dissipation systems were registered over a period of one year. In both cases, the metered values exceeded the calculated energy consumptions by about 20%. An interpretation of the results is presented in the scope of the lecture.
