Improving Energy Efficiency of Cooling Systems

How to reduce your energy bill and prove to stakeholders that your business is taking action in accordance with climate change targets. According to research done by the Carbon Trust around 80% of energy used for temperature controlled facilities relates to the refrigeration plant. Therefore; the efficiency of a refrigeration system has a direct effect on environmental and financial performance of businesses. This should be in every end-users mind when selecting and operating cooling equipment. This presentation will look at ways of reducing energy consumption through a number of approaches. 1. Reduction in heat load – reduce the load = less cooling required both in terms of capacity and duration. 2. Component selection – What equipment and control methodology will reduce energy consumption at the design stage or with a retrofit.
