Chiller Coefficient of Performance (COP) by EKG M&E Sdn Bhd
The Coefficient of Performance (COP) is a key metric used to evaluate the energy efficiency of a chiller system, especially in industrial and commercial cooling applications. It represents the ratio of useful cooling provided (in kW) to the energy consumed (in kW) to generate that cooling. The higher the COP, the more efficient the chiller.
COP = Cooling Output (kW) ÷ Power Input (kW)
For example, if a chiller delivers 300 kW of cooling while consuming 100 kW of electrical power, its COP is 3.0. This means that for every 1 kW of electricity used, the chiller provides 3 kW of cooling.
Energy Efficiency Benchmark – Helps identify how well your system converts electricity into cooling.
Cost Savings – A higher COP means lower electricity bills and operational costs.
Environmental Impact – Efficient systems reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to sustainability.
Performance Comparison – Useful for comparing different chiller models or evaluating retrofit upgrades.
At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we specialize in optimizing air-cooled chiller systems to maximize COP and minimize energy consumption through:
Retro-commissioning and system tuning
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) retrofits
Advanced monitoring and control solutions
Chiller performance benchmarking and energy audits
Whether you're planning a system upgrade or evaluating existing performance, understanding and improving your chiller’s COP is crucial to long-term cost efficiency and system reliability.
