Oversized cooling and pumping plant: a guide to reduce the energy consumption of oversized cooling or pumping plant.

Author(s) : BSRIA, BRITTAIN J. R. J.

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

Points out that fans and pumps are oversized by at least 15%, with more generous overcapacity often given to boilers and chillers. It is estimated that this oversizing is typically responsible for approximately 10-15% of HVAC-related energy consumption. Presents a four-step methodology for reducing the energy consumption of oversized cooling and pumping plant: 1) targeting cooling plant oversizing; 2) assessing and optimising operation and maintenance practice; 3) accurately quantifying cooling plant overcapacity by plant monitoring; 4) implementing remedial measures. Recommends first targeting air handling plant as thermal loads depend on air handling performance.
