Performance Data
ESEER CALCULATIONS
The quoted EER figures (
, on page 28) cover the performance of the
unit ONLY at the standard rating conditions of 7/12°C water, 35°C ambient. The ESEER
calculation method has been developed by Eurovent to give a single value that is a
realistic indication of the efficiency of the chiller across the whole range of operation.
The ESEER value is calculated from the unit’s performance at 20, 25, 30 and 35°C
ambient temperatures for all loading stages, and with a fixed 7°C supply temperature. All
calculations assume the system operates with 100% water.

FSEER CALCULATIONS
(Free Cooling)
Whilst the ESEER is useful for providing a true energy efficiency of a unit’s performance
over a year it does not offer any advantages for use of free-cooling which can significantly
reduce the unit’s lifecycle power consumption.
The FSEER calculation method has been developed by Airedale to give a single value
that is a realistic indication of the efficiency of the chiller across the whole range
of operation.
The quoted Airedale FSEER figures (
, on page 28) are similar to the
ESEER and includes the unit’s free cooling capacity within the calculation. All calculations
for the FSEER use water with 20% ethylene glycol content. Flow rates are kept constant
for all conditions and are determined by the operation at 7/12°C, 35°C ambient.
Free cooling capacity is included within the units EER when available. DX cooling
capacity is included within the Chillers EER when the Free-cooling available is not
sufficient to satisfy the total cooling demand.
