Calculator estimates energy consumption of operating Chillers, Pumps and Towers in a cooling system (both air & water). Allows: Input multiple & varying capacity and types of Chillers that are operating together. Flexible input for operating schedule for each Chiller. Apply changes ( improvements / measures) and compare & examine, quantifying energy and cost savings. Changes: Increasing the chilled water temperature Decreasing the condenser water temperature Replacing the chillers Applying variable speed control to circulation pump motors Upgrade Tower Cell Fan Motor controls Upgrades: Replace chiller refrigerant Install Variable Speed Drive (VSD) on Centrifugal compressors Use Free Cooling.

◆ getSysOpAnnualHours()

static vector< int > ProcessCooling::getSysOpAnnualHours	(	const vector< int > &	weeklyOpStartHour,
		const vector< int > &	weeklyOpStopHour,
		const vector< int > &	monthlyOpMaxHour
	)

static

Use this method to generate system operation annual hours from weekly schedules and monthly max operation hours

Parameters

weeklyOpStartHour	integer array of 7 with hours of the day of the week with start hour of operation (0-23)
weeklyOpStopHour	integer array of 7 with hours of the day of the week with stop hour of operation (0-24)
monthlyOpMaxHour	integer array of 12 with months of the year with max operation hours in that month (0-744) 0 for no operation for that month. If monthlyOpMaxHour exceeds the total hours for a month, it will be capped to the max hours in that month and ending hour for that month will be set to non operational after the max hours is reached.

Returns: integer array of 8760 hours of the year with values as 0 or 1 set based on weekly and monthly schedules
