Chiller Efficiency Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Chiller Efficiency (Echill) is:

\[ \text{Echill} = \frac{\text{C}}{\text{PC}} \times 100 \]

Where:

\(\text{Echill}\) is the Chiller Efficiency (%)
\(\text{C}\) is the cooling output (BTU/hr)
\(\text{PC}\) is the power consumed (W/hr)

Chiller Efficiency Definition

Chiller efficiency refers to the ratio of the cooling output to the power consumed by the chiller. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates how effectively the chiller converts electrical power into cooling power.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Cooling output (C) = 50000 BTU/hr
Power consumed (PC) = 5000 W/hr

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Echill} = \frac{50000}{5000} \times 100 = 1000\% \]

The Chiller Efficiency (Echill) is 1000%.
