PilotE² Iceberg
Portable performance analyzer for HVAC&R systems
An equipment that will allow you to carry out energy audits of chillers and heat pumps with the latest Industry 4.0 tools
PilotE² Iceberg is the portable version suitable for measuring and verifying energy savings and performance checks during commissioning, maintenance and energy audits
Plug and play
PilotE² Iceberg is a solution for connecting, measuring and analysing a wide range of HVAC and refrigeration systems, with many templates in the application catalogue. New templates can be created on request, adapted to the particularities of each project.
Non-invasive
PilotE² Iceberg is a non-invasive solution. Temperature sensors are installed on the pipe surface, pressure sensors are installed in the test ports or pressure gauge ports and electrical measurements are made with split-core current sensors or Rogowsky coils and voltage test leads. Everything is designed for simple and quick installation.
Industrial design
Robust, reliable or IP65 rated, PilotE² Iceberg is the ideal tool for monitoring machines or industrial HVAC or refrigeration plants outdoors and in industrial environments with demanding environmental conditions.
Energy audits 4.0
PilotE² Iceberg is a portable, connected instrument, which allows access to the monitoring of the HVAC&R plant from simple web applications, to download the data, analyse it, and decide on the fly how much time is necessary and sufficient to know how an HVAC&R system is performing.
The PilotE² method, a reliable, complete and accurate cycle
How it works
The PilotE² method calculates the efficiency of thermodynamic refrigeration or heat pump cycles based on the principles of thermodynamics.
The PilotE² method is a combination of the direct and indirect methods, as it uses the best of both. It uses the direct method to determine the instantaneous efficiency and also calculates the evaporator and condenser energy to determine the useful demand.
The PilotE² method uses only ten measurement points in a basic cycle: one electric meter, two pressure sensors (compressor high and low) and five temperature sensors.
Reliability and accuracy
The PilotE² method is more reliable, comprehensive and accurate than other methods. It allows the following Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to be calculated:
- Heat and Cooling Power (kW).
- COP/ EER coefficient of performance
- Overall System Efficiency
- Compressor Isentropic Efficiency
- Condenser Efficiency
- Evaporator Efficiency
- Electrical Energy Consumption
- Flow Rate, Power and Air/Water
- Temperature Delta
- Superheat/Supercooling Values
