Spot measurement
Chill plant power: 421.8 kw
Chiller plant flow rate: 2441gpm
Chiller Chw temp in: 52.34F (11.3 C)
Chiller Chw temp out: 46.22F(7.9C)
The resultant plant efficiency: 0.6776 kw/ton
The measurement time is around 9:30am to 10:30amComparing with the logging graph, the spot measured efficiency is lower than logging data which is 0.71-0.88kw/ton based on UF new and MF existing flow measurement, but acceptable

• The sampling rate is 1 minute
• The readings from correctly mounted ultrasonic flow meter matches well those from magnetic flow meter mounted on the header
• Due to the improper mounting of the old ultrasonic ( air accumulation), the readings from old UF is 15% lower than new correctly mounted UF, which causes the higher efficiency deviation
• During the equipment switching on and off period, unsteady operating condition affects the flow meter reading greatly
• Chiller plant average efficiency from 8:am to 6pm on Nov.18, 2008 is 0.79kw/ton, which is meet the GreenMark baseline minimum efficiency requirement 0.85kw/ton
• There is big room to improve chiller plant efficiency:
