The goal is to standardize the calculation of electricity savings that are triggered by adjusting the superheat to optimize the evaporation temperature.
Examples and Scenarios
Optimization of superheat in a refrigeration system with 45 kW
18'000kWh
eligible kWh, accumulated over the measure's lifetime
Funding contributionCHF 900
Inputs: Elektrische Leistung: 45 kW, Betriebsstunden: 5'000 h/a, Temperaturerhöhung: 2 K
Requirements
Only measures that meet the requirements of the Energy Ordinance (SR 730.01; EnV) can be credited. The additional requirements for the technical characteristics and for the implementation of the measure are set out in Table 1.
| Technology | Mains-operated refrigeration systems within the scope of Annexes 1.14 or 2.11 EnEV (SR 730.02; EnEV) with a rated cooling capacity of up to: - 40 kW in the application area of above-zero cooling - 30 kW in the application area of below-zero cooling - 80 kW in the application area of comfort air-conditioning with direct evaporator - 200 kW in the application areas of comfort air-conditioning with refrigerant carrier, IT servers and process cooling |
|---|---|
| Implementation | The measure must be carried out by a qualified specialist / company. |
Proof of compliance
Compliance with the requirements must be demonstrated by the following documents. The documents listed in Table 2 are an integral part of the proof of measure implementation.
| Symbol | Description | Unit |
|---|---|---|
ΔE | annual electricity savings | kWh/a |
ΔEeco | cumulative electricity savings | kWh |
Pel | electrical power consumption | kW |
ΔTV | evaporation temperature difference | K |
hB | annual operating hours | h/a |
Ns | standard effective duration | a |
Annual Electricity Savings
The annual electricity savings result from the electrical power consumption, operating hours and temperature difference (approx. 4% savings per K).
Cumulative Electricity Savings
The cumulative electricity savings result from the annual savings multiplied by the standard effective duration.
