Optimal configuration and energy conservation of condensers based on part load.

Author(s) : ZHANG J., XU Y.

Summary

The operating records of compressors in an industrial refrigeration plant in Xiamen, China during 2004 are analyzed. Based on the results, the ratio of the heat exhaust of the operating condensers to that of the total condensers is calculated over each time period to obtain the operating time and part-load. The energy consumption and the payback period are calculated for two typical refrigerating plants under different schemes based on regulation of part-load. Results show that energy savings will be 53.6% when condensers are optimally configured based on such regulation. The payback period is 0.78-1.72 years in some cases, whilst in other cases there is actually no additional investment required.
