AC System Optimization Procedures
We test,
adjust and balance your air conditioning systems to make them operate at as
low a KW draw as possible. In addition, we will evaluate the controls and
recommend changes to reduce the operation of the chiller to provide other
operating cost savings. This will improve facility operation and comfort
through accurate control of temperature and humidity in each area.
Our work flow:
- Make a
lighting energy conservation study of the facility and redesign lighting
to get the most possible uniform, low glare light per watt, before
calculating the new air conditioning load.
- Record all
production equipment heat output by recording its electrical input.
- Accurately
calculate the cooling loads for the facility as it exists today, taking
out all past "safety factors" and adding for new production
equipment.
- Calculate air
flow, water flow, and temperature requirements to accurately serve the
actual cooling load without the need for reheat. Especially use the right quantity of
outdoor air to assure good indoor air quality and minimize air
conditioning load. Revise filters to improve air cleanliness.
- Record each
thermostat's signal to study the load profile and time of day use.
- Measure the
present air flow and motor KW for each air handling unit (AHU).
- Study the
design of all control systems. Test all controls to determine how they
operate, relative to design.
- Redesign the
control system to conserve energy and simplify operation and
maintenance. Include the cost/benefit analysis in our report.
