Chiller Performance Parameters

Chiller performance is measured by several key parameters including tons of refrigeration (TR), coefficient of performance (COP), input kW/TR ratio, energy efficiency ratio (EER), integrated energy efficiency ratio (IEER), seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), and integrated part load value (IPLV). IPLV is the most representative measure of chiller efficiency under varying operating conditions as it accounts for performance at partial loads rather than just full load. Standard testing conditions defined by AHRI include an evaporator water temperature of 44°F and varying condenser water temperatures depending on load.

Chiller Performance Parameters

1. Tons of Refrigeration (TR): - One ton of refrigeration is the amount of cooling


obtained by one ton of ice melting in one day by the uniform melting of one ton
(1000kg) of ice and at 00C in 24hr.
1TR=210KJ/min
1TR=3.5Kw
1TR= 12000BTU/hr
2. Coefficient of Performance: - It is a measure of chiller output (cooling) Divided by
Input (Electric Power), Typical Valves are 2-4.
3. IKW/TR- It is a ratio of power input to compressor divided by tons of cooling
produced, Lower the ikw/TR indicates higher the efficiency. Ikw/TR is used as a
reference energy performance indicator.
4. Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER): - EER is calculated by dividing a chiller cooling capacity
in BTU/hr by Power input in watts at full load conditions. Typical Valves are 8-10. The
higher EER, the more efficient unit.
This valve shows the efficiency when operating at peak load capacity
EER = COP x 3.4
5. Integrated Energy Efficiency Ratio (IEER):-This value is more representative of the
actual efficiency you will get out of your HVAC equipment. To calculate this value,
efficiencies are reported at different loads (outdoor temperatures ranging from 65
to 95 degrees F) and then given weights to obtain an overall efficiency value.
IEER = (0.02 * A) + (0.617 * B) + (0.238 * C) + (0.125 * D)
Where,
A = EER at 100% net capacity at AHRI standard condition (95 deg F)
B = EER at 75% net capacity and reduced ambient (81.5 deg F)
C = EER at 50% net capacity and reduced ambient (68 deg F)
D = EER at 25% net capacity and reduced ambient (65 deg F)

6. Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio: - As same EER But representative measurement


of how the system behaves over a season where the outdoor temperature varies.
It is ratio of output cooling energy in BTU over a season to input electrical energy
in watts during the same season.
7. Integrated Part Load Valve (IPLV):- It express part load efficiency for Chiller, based
on the weighted operation at various load capacities. It is most commonly used to
describe the performance of chiller modulation.
Unlike an EER, or COP, which describe the efficiency at full load Conditions, the IPLV
is derived from the equipment efficiency while operating at various capacities.
Since a chiller does not always runs at 100 % capacity, the EER or COP is not an ideal
representation of the typical equipment performance. The IPLV is a very important
valve to consider since it can affect energy usages and operating cost throughout
the lifetime of the equipment.
IPLV Calculated Under a variety of conditions-when the unit is operating at 25%,
50%, 75% and 100% of capacity and at different temperatures.
As per AHRI 551/591 (SI) 2018 Standard
IPLV = 0.01A + 0.42B +0.45 C + 0.12 D
Where,
A= COP or EER at 100 % capacity
B= COP or EER at 75 % capacity
C= COP or EER at 50 % capacity
D= COP or EER at 25 % capacity
8. Non Standard Part Load Valve (NPLV) – If a chiller is designed to operate at different
conditions than specified in AHRI 550/590, Including lower water temperature or
different water flow rate, the efficiency is called a NPLV. It can be calculated by same
equation as above.
9. Chiller Matrix :- This Chiller Matrix Provide ikW/TR for Different Condenser
Entering Water Temperatures and loading Conditions as shown Below:

10. AHRI Conditions:-


Standard reference conditions at which chiller performance is measured, as
defined by the air conditioning and refrigeration Institute (ARI)
Water Cooled chiller is required to run at a 44 Deg. F evaporator Leaving water
temperature with flow rate of 2.4 GPM/ Ton.
The condenser entering water temperature will vary depending on the part load
capacity utilizing a 3 GPM/Ton flow rate, 85 Deg. F at 100 % Load
