Energy Saving by Introduction of High Efficiency Centrifugal Chiller

B. Terms and definitions
Terms
Centrifugal chiller

Definitions
A centrifugal chiller is a chiller applying a centrifugal compressor.
It is commonly used for air-conditioning with huge cooling load,e.g., buildings, shopping malls or factories etc.

Cooling capacity

Cooling capacity is the ability of individual chiller to remove heat.
In this methodology, “cooling capacity” is used to represent a
cooling capacity per one chiller unit and not for a system withmultiple chiller units.

Periodical check

Periodical check is a periodical investigation of chiller done by
manufacturer or agent who is authorized by the manufacturer, inorder to maintain chiller performance.

Calculationofemissions

reference Reference emissions are GHG emissions from using reference
chiller, calculated with power consumption of project chiller,
ratio of COPs (Coefficient Of Performance) of reference/projectchillers and CO2 emission factor for electricity consumed.

D. Eligibility criteria

This methodology is applicable to projects that satisfy all of the following criteria.
Criterion 1

Project chiller is a centrifugal chiller with a capacity of less than 1,250 USRt.
* 1 USRt = 3.52 kW

Criterion 2

COP for project chiller i calculated under the standardizing temperature
conditions* (COPPJ,tc,i) is more than 6.0.
COPPJ,tc,i is a recalculation of COP of project chiller i (COPPJ,i) adjusting
temperature conditions from the project specific condition to the standardizingconditions. COPPJ,i is derived in specifications prepared for the quotation orfactory acceptance test data at the time of shipment by manufacturer.

F. Establishment and calculation of reference emissions
F.1. Establishment of reference emissions
Reference emissions are calculated by multiplying power consumption of project chiller, ratioof COPs for reference/project chillers, and CO2 emission factor for electricity consumed.
The COP of reference chiller is conservatively set as a default value in the following manner toensure the net emission reductions.
1. The COP value tends to increase as the cooling capacity becomes larger.
2. The reference COP, which has a certain cooling capacity, is set at a maximum value incorresponding cooling capacity range.
3. The maximum values of COP in each cooling capacity ranges are defined as COPRE,i as
described in Section I.
F.2. Calculation of reference emissions: Reference emissions during the period p [tCO2/p]: Power consumption of project chiller i during the period p [MWh/p]
