HVAC Philippines - Stuff from a Trane Engineer

Introduction           I'm a senior sales engineer with over 15 years of experience, and I've been working in the HVAC industry since 2008.

In my previous blog post, I talked about the importance of chiller efficiency  and why less is more. I explained how choosing a more efficient chiller can save you money on your energy bills and help reduce your environmental impact. In this post, I want to take a closer look at the benefits of using a chiller that meets ASHRAE Standard 90.1. This standard sets minimum energy requirements for commercial buildings, and it's a great way to ensure that you're getting the most efficient chiller possible. ASHRAE 90.1 Chillers: More Efficient, More Cost-Effective ASHRAE 90.1 chillers are designed to use less energy than traditional chillers. This is achieved through a variety of features, such as: More efficient compressors Larger heat exchangers High-efficiency motors Variable-frequency drives As a result of these features, ASHRAE 90.1 chillers can achieve energy efficiency ratings of up to 0.55 kW/ton. This is significantly lower than the industry standard of 0.64 kW/ton. The highe...
