    The document discusses different metrics for measuring chiller efficiency: kW/ton, COP, and EER. It provides formulas for converting between these metrics, and defines what each represents. kW/ton measures energy consumption per ton of cooling. COP is the ratio of useful energy acquired to energy applied, measuring overall efficiency. EER specifically measures cooling efficiency of unitary AC and heat pump systems based on cooling capacity and power input. Higher values of COP and EER indicate more efficient systems.

    Cooling Load Converting - kW/ton to COP or EER

    How to convert cooling load between kW/ton, COP and EER

    Chiller efficiency depends on energy consumed. Absorption chillers are rated in fuel
    consumption per ton cooling. Electric motor driven chillers are rated in kilowatts per ton cooling.

     KW/ton = 12 / EER
     KW/ton = 12 / (COP x 3.412)
     COP = EER / 3.412
     COP = 12 / (KW/ton) / 3.412
     EER = 12 / KW/ton
     EER = COP x 3.412

    If a chillers efficiency is rated at 1 KW/ton,

     COP = 3.5
     EER = 12

    Cooling Load in - kW/ton

    The term kW/ton is commonly used for larger commercial and industrial air-conditioning, heat
    pump and refrigeration systems.

    The term is defined as the ratio of energy consumption in kW to the rate of heat removal in tons
    at the rated condition. The lower the kW/ton the more efficient the system.

    kW/ton = Pc / Er (1)

    where

    Pc = energy consumption (kW)

    Er = heat removed (ton)

    Coefficient of Performance - COP

    The Coefficient of Performance - COP - is the basic parameter used to report efficiency of
    refrigerant based systems.

    The Coefficient of Performance - COP - is the ratio between useful energy acquired and energy
    applied and can be expressed as
    COP = Eu / Ea (2)

    where

    COP = coefficient of performance

    Eu = useful energy acquired (btu in imperial units)

    Ea = energy applied (btu in imperial units)

    COP can be used to define both cooling efficiency or heating efficiency as for a heat pump.

     Cooling - COP is defined as the ratio of of heat removal to energy input to the
    compressor
     Heating - COP is defined as the ratio of heat delivered to energy input to the compressor

    COP can be used to define the efficiency at single standard or non-standard rated conditions, or
    as a weighted average of seasonal conditions. The term may or may not include the energy
    consumption of auxiliary systems such as indoor or outdoor fans, chilled water pumps, or
    cooling tower systems.

     higher COP - more efficient system

    COP can be treated as an efficiency where COP of 2.0 = 200% efficiency. For unitary heat
    pumps, ratings at two standard outdoor temperatures of 47oF and 17oF (8.3oC and -8.3oC) are
    typically used.

    Energy Efficiency Ratio - EER

    The Energy Efficiency Ratio - EER - is a term generally used to define cooling efficiency of
    unitary air-conditioning and heat pump system.

    The efficiency is determined at a single rated condition specified by an appropriate equipment


    standard and is defined as the ratio of net cooling capacity - or heat removed in Btu/h - to the
    total input rate of electric power applied - in Watts. The units of EER are Btu/Wh.

    EER = Ec / Pa (3)

    where

    EER = energy efficient ratio (Btu/Wh)

    Ec = net cooling capacity (Btu/h)

    Pa = applied electrical power (Watts)


    This efficiency term typically includes the energy requirement of auxiliary systems such as the
    indoor and outdoor fans.

     higher EER - more efficient system
