Industrial refrigeration energy audit checklist

Connect load, condensing, evaporators, defrost and infiltration before estimating savings.

This pre-audit checklist keeps product temperature, food safety, redundancy and operating constraints visible while screening refrigeration opportunities.

Load and production

Product load, room temperatures, dock activity, doors, weather, production and storage schedule.

Plant operation

Compressor kW, suction and discharge conditions, condensing temperature, fan/pump status and sequencing.

Terminal conditions

Evaporator approach, defrost timing, airflow, ice condition, infiltration and low-temperature zones.

01Refrigeration baseline

Normalize electricity against production, weather and temperature-zone requirements.

02Condensing-temperature savings

Use ambient and heat-rejection limits; do not apply a fixed percentage without operating-hour data.

03Low-load sequencing

Review compressor staging, suction reset, evaporator demand and minimum stable operating limits.

04Defrost and infiltration

Separate avoidable door load, defrost heat and fan operation from core product refrigeration.

05M&V data

Trend compressor power, suction/discharge conditions, ambient, room temperature, production and control status before and after changes.
