Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular relates to an energy efficiency assessment method, apparatus, system, equipment and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, obtaining the energy efficiency of air conditioning chiller units requires installing water flow meters and supply and return water temperature sensors on the chilled water pipes. After measuring the chiller unit's load, the energy efficiency is calculated by dividing the load by the power, enabling real-time monitoring of the chiller unit's energy consumption. If multiple chillers are installed in the chiller room, the water flow meter is often installed on the main chilled water pipe, monitoring the total chilled water flow, the total load of the chiller room, and the total energy efficiency, but not the energy efficiency of a single chiller unit.

[0003] The method for evaluating the energy efficiency of chiller units involves comparing their energy efficiency with national standards or the standards of the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) in the United States. However, the energy efficiency of chiller units is closely related to their operating conditions. If the operating conditions of the chiller unit are inconsistent with those in the standard, this evaluation method is inaccurate. Alternatively, the operating conditions of the chiller unit can be adjusted to match those in the product catalog, and the current energy efficiency can be compared with the energy efficiency listed in the catalog. However, since the actual operating conditions of chiller units often differ from those in the product catalog, this method requires manual adjustment of the chiller unit's operating conditions and therefore cannot provide real-time evaluation of the chiller unit's energy efficiency.
