Refrigeration Commissioning Guide Ensures System Performance

摘要

Commissioning commercial refrigeration systems could yield hot energy savings, according to a new ASHRAE guide. About 60% of energy use in supermarkets is attributed to refrigeration, and studies have shown that commissioning could result in 7-25% energy savings. Check out ASHRAE's Refrigeration Commissioning Guide for Commercial and Industry Systems for user-friendly, how-to guidance on the process. "Custom refrigeration systems are complex and individually designed for each facility," says Richard Royal, chair of the committee that wrote the guide. "Deficiencies in the system design found at start-up are not easily resolved and, as a result, maintenance managers or operators deal with unnecessary shortcomings and expenses over the life of a facility."
