Scope:

Create a new standard to supersede the C500 standard with the following scope:

Refrigeration systems with the following characteristics:

i. Serving refrigerated storage in a distribution warehouse and refrigerated processes, for food and beverage products.
ii. Refrigeration systems using a vapour-compression cycle and providing cooling by convection.
iii. Refrigerated zone volume equal to or greater than 283 m3 (10,000 ft3).
iv. Process cooling capacity equal to and greater than 70 kWR  (20 TR).

 

Project need:

Project need is to update the standard to reflect improvements to the methodology identified during the validation work for the development of the spreadsheet that supports the standard. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of the C402 committee on industrial energy efficiency. It will provide the industry with an improved benchmarking process for determining the energy performance for industrial refrigeration systems
