Refrigeration Energy Monitoring

Refrigeration energy monitoring of performance and power consumption over seasonal varying ambient temperatures can often prove to be a difficult and inaccurate task if not considering the changing variables. One of the most important variables to consider is the performance of the refrigeration plant in comparison with ambient temperature. Typically, an increase in outdoor temperature would normally cause the refrigeration plant to consume more energy. The same phenomenon would occur when outside ambient temperatures fall, less power is consumed.

By measuring the change in kWh per degree change in ambient temperature, accurate projections can be made to predict system performance over a wide range of operating conditions making baseline or bench marking analysis more accurate if determining energy efficiency levels before and after.
