The IOR Carbon Trust project to develop a simple measure of whole system performance has now been launched. The System Efficiency Index can be downloaded from the IOR website, together with guidance notes, informs the Institute of Refrigeration's e-Newsletter. Users are asked to register before accessing the tool so that the Institute can carry out evaluation of its usefulness over the coming months. This is an important practical step towards improving the efficiency of refrigerating sytems in the UK, refers IOR.
The IOR System Efficiency Index and Rating tool has been developed for the Institute of Refrigeration with support of the Carbon Trust to provide a tool for the comparison of relative efficiency of whole systems. The purpose is to help you to reduce carbon emissions generated by electricity use of refrigeration systems.
The Index can be used by designers and purchasers of systems to compare efficiency of different design approaches. It can also be used to compare theoretical design efficiency with the practical efficiency of the installed system. |
