Résumé

This column compares the performance of a typical constant-speed, two-stage centrifugal chiller with a comparable variable-speed centrifugal chiller at similar price points. In an attempt to do a comparative performance benefit based on similar chiller price, the
base efficiency of the constant-speed chiller was improved by 10% by taking the additional dollars spent on a variable-speed drive and applying it to improve the design performance for the constant-speed unit (generally in the form of more effective heat exchangers). In addition, a 3% efficiency penalty was used for the variable-speed chiller to account for inverter losses. The overall performance for the constant-speed chiller is 13% better than that of the variable-speed chiller at design conditions.
