COMPRESSOR MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES
CURRENT CONDITIONS
Facility owner/managers are faced with reducing their
operating costs. There are many different directions they
can choose and making the best business decision can be a
challenge as:
Equipment ages- efficiency decrease
Utility cost increase
Repair costs increase
Operating budgets change
Refrigerant availability /cost changes due to phase out
Comfort issues
CHOICES
Option 1
Replace the entire system with new equipment
Pros:
New equipment can reduce repair costs
New equipment will contain new environmentally friendly
refrigerant
New equipment can be more efficient
Comfort issues can improve
CHOICES
Option 1
Cons:
$
Capital funds availability
System down time
CHOICES
Option 2
Life Extension Project
1. Survey the building and existing equipment condition
2. Identify key pieces of equipment that have reached the end of it’s service
life like:
•
•
•
•
•
Compressors
Motors
Contactors
Controllers
Dampers
•
•
•
•
•
Economizer controls
Wear items
Heat exchangers
Pumps
Piping
Option 2
CHOICES
Make needed repairs
Replace wear items
Clean existing system components
Re-commission the system
ADVANTAGES
Option 2
Allows the ability to select components that will
reduce energy use
Upgrade the system vs. replacing the entire system
Less cost than replacing
OPPORTUNITIES
Option 2
Utilize the local utility company to assist in funding the project by:
Performing a quick analysis of the building's mechanical system
Obtain the past 12 months (or more) of utility bills
Qualify the opportunity by using the data collected
Contacting an energy engineer approved by the utility company
Determine the energy savings
Calculate the utility’s possible rebate
EQUIPMENT SELECTION
COMPRESSORS
Fixed-speed compressors found in traditional HVAC systems operate at two states, off or 100% on. This wastes
energy during part load conditions which is where most systems operate 99% of the time.
This includes 1, 2 or 3 stage compressors that cannot compare to the full range variable capacity of a VFD rotary
screw chiller today.
Most chillers installed 20 years ago were rated near 1.3 kW/ton performance which is a 8 EER. This was the
standard for the chillers at that time.
MCS developed a system realizing reductions in Kw/ton down to 0.4 at part load conditions.
That equates to 30 EER. This could bring your energy savings up to 26%.
SOLUTION
The MCS Energy Performance System reacts quickly to capacity changes and
ramp up faster than fixed speed compressor systems
Also eliminates the high demand created in across the line or even part start
motors.
This performance based technology coupled with energy efficient software using
electronic expansion valves can change a failing inefficient system nightmare into
a cost saving solution without the huge capital investment of replacing the entire
system.
The best part of this equation is not only will the MCS Energy Performance
System reduce operating costs, going directly to the customer’s bottom line but
the local utility will help pay for the installation with incentives. This permits a
quicker return on investment.
FIRST STEP
Identify locations with equipment approaching the end of it’s service
life
Perform a quick analysis of the building's mechanical system
Obtain the past 12 months (or more) of utility bills
Qualify the opportunity by using the data collected
Contact an energy engineer approved by the utility company
Determine the energy savings
Calculate the utility’s possible rebate
Sell to the customer using the ROI based on the energy savings
