  35. Boiler Stack Economizer Installation - Example • Cleaver Brooks, 350 Horsepower Steam Boiler, • 100 psig operating pressure • Stack Economizer installed cost $30,000

  36. Change Refrigeration System Operating Conditions - Freezing • Operate at suction temperatures only as low as necessary • Common suction temperatures in NL range from -40˚F (-40˚C) to -45˚F (43˚C ) • Because of specific volume differences in refrigerants such as ammonia, the compressor capacity is 20% higher when operating at -35˚F (-37˚C) as compared to -42˚F (-41˚C) . The specific volume of ammonia at -42˚F (-41˚C) is 1.64 m3/kg and at -35˚F (-37 ˚C) it’s 1.35 m3/kg • Refrigeration compressors are most efficient at 100% load

  37.

  40. Change Refrigeration System Operating Conditions – Water Chilling • Mycom 200VS • Condensing temperature: 85˚F (29.4˚C)

  41. Refrigeration System Operation – Energy Savings • As an example of the energy savings possible in a typical fish processing plant with 300 TR low temperature (freezing/ice making load) and 300 TR medium temperature (water chilling load), lets looks at the energy cost difference possible by simply changing operating temperatures. We can see from the previous compressor capacities slides that there is a significant difference in the HP/TR ratio depending upon operating conditions. At -42˚F/95˚F not economized the HP/TR ratio is 3.65:1.Whereas at -35˚F/85˚F economized the HP/TR ratio is 2.34:1. At 0˚F /85˚F the HP/TR ratio is 1.47:1 and at 25˚F/85˚F the HP/TR ratio is 0.86:1

  42. Based upon this, the energy savings possible, based upon a 4000 hour operating year is: 300TR x (3.65 – 2.34) x 0.746 x 4000 hrs x $0.089/kWh = $104,371.37 300TR x (1.47 – 0.86) x 0.746 x 4000 hrs x $0.089/kWh = $48,600.41 Savings = $104,371.37 + $48,600.41 = $152,971.78

  43. Reducing refrigeration system compressor horsepower by 400 hp based upon 24/7 operation at100% load for 6 months would result in significant energy savings. Based upon a 300 TR freezing load operating at -42˚F/95˚F, not economized with a HP/TR factor of 3.65, HP = 300 x 3.65 = 1095 hp. As opposed to operating at -35˚F/85˚F, economized with a HP/TR factor of 2.33, HP = 300 x 2.33 = 699 hp Savings = 400 hp x 0.746 x 4000 hrs x $0.089 per kWh = $106,230.4

  44. Premium Efficiency Motors vs. Standard Efficiency Motors • Energy represents more than 97% of total motor costs over a motor’s lifetime, the initial purchase price and maintenance cost making up the remaining 3% • When purchasing a new motor or rewinding an old, the motor purchase/repair cost is often the determining factor, not the cost of the energy the motor will consume over its lifetime.

  45. Electric Motor Operating Cost Calculation • Demand Savings (kW) = (hp x 0.746) x (LF) x (1/Eexisting – 1/Ereplace) • Consumption Savings (kWh) = (Demand Savings) x (Operating Hours) • Annual Cost Savings = (kWh savings x kWh rate) hp = motor nameplate horsepower 0.746 = conversion from hp to kW LF = load factor as percent of full-rated load Eexisting and Ereplace= efficiency of existing and replacement motors (in percent)

  46. Electric Motor Energy Cost Savings Example; Premium vs. Standard Efficiency • A shrimp plant is using a standard 100 hp motor. The plant is in operation 7 months of the year and the motor is operating 24/7 at 100% load. How much energy and money would be saved if the motor was a premium efficiency motor instead of a standard efficiency motor?

  47. Demand Savings = (100 hp x 0.746) x (1.0) x (1/0.923 – 1/0.954) • = 2.62 kW • Consumption Savings = (2.62 kW x 5000 hours) • = 13 100 kWh • Annual Cost Savings = 13 131.68 kWh x $0.089 per kWh • = $1165.9
