Abstract:
A method for analyzing the performance of a first chiller with respect to the hypothetical design rated performance of at least one other chiller, the method comprising the steps of:(a) for the first chiller and for each of at least one designated time periods, obtaining real power usage data and at least one set of real tonnage derivation data;(b) obtaining other chiller information, including design rating information for each of the other chillers, the design rating information including the design rated power requirement; (c) deriving the power requirement difference to operate the first chiller compared to at least one of the other chillers; and (d) differentiating the future use of the first chiller with respect to the hypothetical future use of the at least one other chiller, based on the power requirement difference.
