Energy Conservation and Energy Saving Techniques apply on a Small Scale Cold Storage through Energy Audit

Energy Engineering

Energy is now a costly and scare commodity in everywhere. So it essential for each place to carried out an energy audit to find the energy conservation opportunities and methods to reduce energy consumption. In this paper Energy study was conducted in a small scale cold storage to determine the energy consumption. Also we measured for different storage temperatures. Suction temperature and pressure temperature of the compressor and working time of the compressor were determined to reach evaporator set up temperatures.finally observed that the actual energy consumption of a cold storage by a compressor for one chamber is 32 KW per hour and theoretical energy consumption is 26 KW per hour.so minimize this gap then savings of Rs. 23652 /- per month will be obtained which will amount to Rs. 283824 /- per year.
