Chiller Asset Management Discussion - When to Retrofit / When to Replace
Scott Tracy, President / Owner, Chiller Systems Service Inc.
Robert Ellis, Chiller Systems Service Inc.
Chiller retrofits, Energy saving, Cost effective alternatives
to machine replacement
Potential benefits of retrofitting existing chillers include: Asset investment
protection, Lower energy spend, Reduced first cost project investment.
Many existing chillers are a less than ideal match to their connected
load or operational requirements. Often times, chillers are required to
operate over 80% of their annual hours under part load conditions causing
excess energy spend as well as premature machine damage. Retrofit options
include compressor retrofits, variable speed motor upgrades, microprocessor
upgrades, enhanced heat transfer, oil migration management. Chiller retrofit
projects, when properly designed and implemented have proven to have a
relativity short return on investment and can be a viable alternative
to machine replacement.
