Energy Efficiency Ratio, Integrated Part Load Value of Chiller.

Question

Accepted Answer

Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) and Integrated Part Load Value (IPLV) are important metrics used to measure the efficiency of chillers.

EER is the ratio of cooling output to the electrical power input of a chiller at a specific operating condition.
IPLV is an average efficiency value calculated at various part load conditions, representing the chiller's performance over a typical operating cycle.
Both EER and IPLV help in comparing the energy efficiency of different chillers and selecting the most efficient option.
Higher EER and IPLV values indicate better energy efficiency.
For example, a chiller with an EER of 15 and an IPLV of 12 is more energy-efficient than a chiller with an EER of 10 and an IPLV of 8.
