OUTCOME 1: Lift is difference between the evaporator pressure and condenser
pressure. Greater the pressure, more energy for given
load. Lift for Chiller 1 is 5.3
Lift for Chiller 2 is 6.26

It shows that condenser in chiller 2 condensers is fouled as it requires more

energy to do the work.

OUTCOME 2: Condenser approach should be between 0-2 (Liquid refringent

temperature – Condenser outlet temperature)
Condenser approach for Chiller-1 1.44
Condenser approach for Chiller-2: 4.47
so it can conclude that condenser in chiller-2 is fouled.

Energy Saving Recommendation:
Chiller-2 condenser need to cleaned.

Result of the outcome:

Chiller-2 efficiency will improve and approach too.
Present Scenario: Condenser approach=4.47
After technical recommendation: Condenser
approach = < 2

Proposed Energy/Electricity Saving
Saving Calculation:
Consumption = 87 kW
Energy Saving @ improving 4% of efficiency = 3.48 kW
Energy saving per annum = 3.48 X10 X 240 ( 10 hours ,240 days
of working)
= 8352 kWh
Monetary Saving = Rs 93125/-
Expected Pay back = Immediate

Sample case study for audit of cooling
tower. With our precise and scientific
instruments, we have analyzed below
mentioned data for two number of cooling
towers installed at client side.

Technical Evaluation & Findings:

This is of Natural Air cooling Tower with 6 rows and each row has 14
nozzles. In cooling tower-1 only 5 rows are operation and in other cooling
tower -2 all 5 rows are in operation. Height of the cooling Tower is 4.2 m.

No chemical additives are added to maintain the TDS.

Chiller condensing water is been cooled here, the main criteria is outlet
temperature which should be 28°C but as the cooling tower completely
covered by building it will affect cooling water outlet temperature.

http://www.mgcs.net.in/hvac_energy_audit.php
Proposed System:

The cooling tower need to shift to terrace where there

is no obstacles so the air will flow from down wards
and cooling water temperature will be below 28°C.
