Résumé

This paper provides an overview of research work conducted over the last six years investigating the measurement and presentation of cold store and process refrigeration plant efficiency. The variation in cold store performance across notionally similar facilities is massive and it follows that the amount of energy being wasted (and the opportunities for improvement) are also huge. The difference between best in class and worst in terms of energy use can be a factor of 10. The discrepancy in process freezing and chilling equipment is even greater.
The objective of this work is to provide facility owners and operators with a mechanism for assessing their plant performance and benchmarking it against past performance and other facilities. A mechanism for forecasting the annualised effect of performance improvement interventions is presented and some case study examples of improvements are described.
A roadmap for the adoption of these techniques is detailed and a method of expressing the results in financial terms in order to aid capital investment planning is provided. A new business model, designed to overcome the barriers to adoption of this methodology, is suggested.
