PilotE² HVACR

HVACR performance measurement to optimize energy consumption

/

Reduce climate impact

Scientists continually alert us about the climate emergency, whose first cause is an excessive energy consumption and fossil fuels burning.

g

Reduce energy consumption

Between 15-20% of global electricity consumption is used for refrigeration and air conditioning (HVACR). Depending on the climatic area it can represent up to 50%

Reduce energy costs

Most of HVACR systems don’t work as efficiently as they were designed, which means a higher energy cost and an increasing risk of failure and, in the end, increased CO2 emissions.

With PilotE² method

How it works

PilotE² method calculates refrigeration or heat pump thermodynamic cycles performance based on thermodynamics principles.

PilotE² method is a direct and indirect methods combination, using the best of each. It uses a direct method to determine instantaneous performance but also measures evaporator or condenser energy, when possible, to obtain additional information on final energy use.

PilotE² method use only six measurement points in a simple setup, one power meter, two pressure sensors (high and low compressor pressure) and three temperature sensors).

Reliability and accuracy

PilotE² method is a more reliable and accurate than other methods based on air and water measurements. It allows to calculate this Key Performance Indicators (KPI):

  • Cooling and Heating Power (kW)
  • Coefficient of Performance COP/ EER
  • Global System Efficiency
  • Compressor Isentropic Efficiency
  • Condenser Efficiency
  • Evaporator Efficiency
  • Electrical Energy Consumption
  • Air/Water Flow, Power, Temp. Delta, Energy
  • Superheat/Sub-cooling values
