To run the required check, it is of utmost importance that we make sure to have a mutual understanding of when to use which calculation method. In the SEER regulation for comfort chillers a specific brine outlet temperature, leaving the evaporator, is specified at +7°C. A COMP1 calculation is forced to use this one temperature at 100% load.

In our letter of compliance, we have defined all chillers with an evaporator outlet temperature of +7°C or more as a comfort chiller, regardless of the application.

This means that all chillers with evaporator outlet temperatures below +7°C (down to -25°C) belong to the process chiller group.

Leaving brine temperatures below -25°C are not within the ECO design scope, and consequently there is no need for any check!
