1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1     INTRODUCTION

The Sygma Network (Sygma) stores and distributes refrigerated and frozen foods to multiple restaurant
chains. This Technical Analysis Study (TAS) focuses on the refrigeration systems serving Sygma’s
Clackamas, OR site. The facility relies on multifarious air-cooled condensing units to condition one -20°F
ice cream freezer, two large storage freezers at -10°F, two 30°F – 38°F coolers and a heavily utilized 40°F
shipping and receiving dock. All conditioned areas (freezers, coolers, dock) are refrigerated 24 hours per
day, 7 days per week for a total annual operation of 8,760 hours.

The purpose of this TAS is twofold. One, high efficiency motor technology was tested in real world
scenarios to determine performance. Software Motor Company (SMC) graciously donated the motors and
labor to install and commission the high efficiency motors. Power data was metered for the original fan
motors as well as the high efficiency fan motors. Since this is a no-cost measure, no incentives are
available.

The TAS also serves to quantify energy savings resulting from a condenser coil cleaning for all
condensing units. This is considered an operations and maintenance (O&M) measure and is eligible for a
bonus incentive offer; see Section 1.3 for details.

1.2     EEM SUMMARY

EEM 1: High Efficiency Fan Motors

          The evaporator and condenser fan motors for freezer condensing unit circuit SC5-2 were
          retrofitted with high efficiency switched reluctance motors. Ex-ante and ex-post power metering
          was performed on the original fan motors and high efficiency motors, respectively. Energy
          savings are realized due to the higher efficiency of the motors. Although capable of variable
          speed operation, this TAS analyzed energy savings of the fan motors due to their efficiency
          operating at constant speed (full speed) using control mechanisms (cycling) identical to the
          baseline case. This was a no cost (no incentive) measure. Additional savings will result if motor
          speed is allowed to modulate.

EEM 2: Condenser Cleaning

          Over time, debris has accumulated on the condenser coils of the air-cooled condensing units
          restricting air flow through the fins which negatively effects heat transfer effectiveness across the
          coils. This EEM recommends cleaning the condenser coils for all condensing units. Clean
          condenser coils will reduce the approach temperature resulting in compressor savings due to
          lower head pressure.

EEMS STUDIED BUT NOT RECOMMENDED

EEM 3: Evaporator Cleaning

          This measure analyzed energy savings realized from cleaning three dock evaporator air units. The
          cost of the measure results in a high payback period that does not meet Energy Trust’s cost
          effectiveness criteria. Therefore, this measure is not recommended.

EEM 4: Lower Minimum Condensing Pressure

          Reducing the minimum head pressure on the condensing units was originally considered.
          However, a combination of data logging and cut-in/cut-out pressure switch setting observations
          confirmed the condensing units were already operating with low minimum condensing pressure
          settings. Reducing the pressure further may preclude proper refrigerant feeding to thermal
          expansion and/or invoke refrigerant stacking in the condenser coils. Therefore, this measure is not
          recommended.

Energy Trust is providing an ongoing 90x90 O&M bonus incentive offering. The 90x90 O&M incentive is calculated based on $0.08/kWh saved up
to 90% of the project cost. The standard O&M project incentive is calculated based on $0.08/kWh saved up to 50% of the project cost. The calculated
incentive in Table 3 is based on the 90x90 O&M incentive offering. To qualify for the 90x90 O&M incentive, the customer needs to complete the
recommended measures and provide final cost documentation to the PDC (Energy 350) within 90 days after Energy Trust signs an incentive
agreement. In addition, the PDC must submit this final cost documentation and a verification report to Energy Trust soon after the measures have
been implemented. If for some reason the project completion extends beyond the 90 days, then the incentive will be calculated based on the standard
O&M incentive offering (Table 2).

1.4     POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

The recommended efficiency measures have benefits beyond saving energy. Cleaning the condensers,
effectively reducing the head pressure, will reduce equipment wear since the units will operate at a
reduced duty and compression ratio.

1.5     RECOMMENDATIONS

We recommend the installation of EEMs 1 and 2. These measures provide a simple payback of 5.6
months with Energy Trust incentives, as shown in Tables 1 and 2. Additional bonus incentives are
available and outlined in Table 3, which further reduce the payback to 5 months.

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED EQUIPMENT
                   AND OPERATION

2.1       EEM 1 – HIGH EFFICIENCY FAN MOTORS

2.1.1      EEM 1 – Source of Energy Savings
Energy savings are realized from the high efficiency of the switched reluctance motors. Therefore, less
energy is lost when comparing input to useful work. While this study only analyzed the energy savings
resulting from an increase in motor efficiency, the software driven motors are also capable of variable
speed operation. For additional energy savings it is recommended to vary motor speed.

2.1.2      EEM 1 – Specific Equipment Recommendations
          Evaporator and condenser fan motors were upgraded to switched reluctance motors provided by
           SMC
              o Evaporator test unit ID: SC5-2 (see Section 4 for details)
                       All 3 fan motors were replaced with switched reluctance motors; however, only 2
                          were commissioned during the testing period
              o Condenser test circuit: SC5-2 (see Section 4 for details)
                       Both condenser fan motors were replaced with switched reluctance motors

2.1.3      EEM 1 – Setpoints and Algorithms Recommended to Achieve Energy Performance
          The high efficiency motors by SMC rely on the same control mechanisms as the baseline case
               o Evaporator fan motors cycle based on zone temperature via the Beacon II controller
               o Evaporator fans de-energize during defrost cycles including a short delay post defrost for
                   a coil cool or drip dry cycle
               o Condenser fans cycle to maintain a targeted head pressure based on cut-in and cut-out
                   pressure switches
          For additional savings:
               o Evaporator Fans
                        Modulate fan speed to maintain zone temperatures
                        Minimum speed: 50%
                        Maximum speed: 95%
                        Cycle fans once minimum fan speed is reached
                        Implement a fan delay to operate fans for approximately 5 minutes once the
                            liquid line solenoid has shut before cycling off. This will ensure any residual
                            liquid has vaporized.

2.2       EEM 2 – CONDENSER CLEANING

2.2.1      EEM 2 – Source of Energy Savings
Over time, debris builds up on the condenser coils restricting air flow across the tubes/fins which
negatively impacts heat transfer. This EEM recommends a thorough cleaning of the condensers on all
condensing units. By cleaning the condensers, the approach temperature will be reduced, which will
reduce compressor input power due to lower compressor lift.

2.2.2      EEM 2 – Specific Equipment Recommendations
          This upgrade does not require any new equipment

2.2.3      EEM 2 – Setpoints and Algorithms Recommended to Achieve Energy Performance
          No setpoints nor algorithms are necessary to achieve energy savings

3.0 EEM COSTS
The tables below summarize project costs. SMC donated materials and labor necessary to install and
commission the high efficiency motors for EEM 1. A copy of the vendor’s proposal for the coil cleanings
can be found in the Appendix. The cost estimate for EEM 3 is also shown below; however, this measure
does not pass Energy Trust’s cost effectiveness criteria, and therefore, is not recommended.

4.0 BASELINE AND ANALYSIS OVERVIEW

4.1     BASELINE DESCRIPTION
The facility relies on multiple, dedicated packaged refrigeration units to condition the following spaces:
    (1) -20°F ice cream freezer
    (2) -10°F storage freezers
    (1) 30°F cooler
    (1) 38°F cooler
    (1) 40°F shipping and receiving dock

Each refrigeration system consists of a packaged, air-cooled condensing unit piped to remote evaporator
air units in the conditioned spaces. Compressors unload either by cycling or unloading cylinders,
depending on size and type. Condenser fans are constant speed and cycle to maintain a targeted head
pressure via cut-in/cut-out pressure switches. Evaporator fans are also constant speed. Most evaporators
rely on electric resistance heating for defrost cycles (with the exception of the dock evaporators). A
Heatcraft Beacon II controller for each system cycles evaporator fans with respect to zone temperature
setpoints as well as initiates and terminates defrost cycles based on suction pressure and temperature. All
refrigerated spaces are maintained at temperature 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for a total annual
operation of 8,760 hours. Table 7 and 8 summarize the refrigeration equipment at the site.

4.2     OVERVIEW OF TECHNICAL APPROACH

The technical approach considers a combination of logged data, equipment specifications, operational
schedules, site observations, and discussions with plant personnel and the refrigeration vendor,
PermaCold Engineering. Most of the condensing units are dual circuited meaning two independent
refrigeration circuits are present in units SC1-1&2, SC1-3&4, SC5-1&2, SC5-3&4, NFU-1, and SC9.
Because of this arrangement, redundancy is inherent making these units great candidates for the motor
test. Freezer unit SC5 circuit 2 (or SC5-2) was chosen as the test subject.

4.2.1     Data Logging
In order to help us better understand the operation of the facility, Energy 350 deployed data loggers for
relevant system equipment. All data logging was done in 1 minute intervals from 3/26/2018 to 4/27/2018.
In addition, SMC installed line powered loggers on the evaporator and condenser fan motors on 4/9/2018
during the high efficiency motor installation.

Important dates during the data logging period:
    4/5/2018: Site specific outdoor weather logger malfunctioned, NOAA data used in lieu
    4/9/2018: SMC replaced both condenser fan motors on circuit SC5 with switched reluctance
       motors
    4/10/2018: SMC replaced all 3 evaporator fan motors on circuit SC5-2 with switched reluctance
       motors
    4/10/2018: After repeated efforts SMC was unable to successfully operate all 3 evaporator fan
       motors in unison. Instead, two of the 3 fan motors were allowed to operate

                    condenser fan motor performance

4.2.2     Baseline Analysis
The following analysis methodology was developed to quantify energy savings for all measures analyzed
in this report.

Cooling loads for cold storage warehouses are largely influenced by transmission losses between the
conditioned, inside temperature and the ambient outside air temperature. Although other factors that
influence load are present such as infiltration, internal loads and product pulldown, it is the conduction
through the envelop of the cold storage that primarily drives the load. Load is calculated in tons of
refrigeration or TR. As such, we begin the data analysis looking at ambient weather trends. Figure 1
compares the outdoor dry bulb temperature (DBT) measured directly at the site with the closest weather
station at PDX International Airport. On average, there was a 3.4% difference between the datasets. This
is important to note since the onsite data logger malfunctioned on 4/5/2018. Since the difference in
temperature between the datasets is minor and since DBT is important for modeling purposes it was
necessary to have concurrent weather data. Thus, the analysis uses DBT from NOAA PDX.

Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the suction and discharge pressures, respectively, for circuit SC5-2. The break in
the data from 4/10/2018 to 4/19/2018 is due to commissioning efforts by PermaCold Engineering and
SMC, primarily for evaporator fan motor troubleshooting. This break is evident in all logged data
pertaining to SC5-2.

Pressure data was converted to saturated temperatures based on pressure temperature tables. R404A is a
zeotropic halo fluorocarbon blend meaning the composition changes during the boiling and condensing
phases. It is important to note the bubble and dew points on the following figure when converting
pressure to temperature.

Head pressure (or SCT) is controlled to a minimum of 165 psig (76.7°F SCT) for SC5-2. This is
necessary to prevent refrigerant stacking in the condenser and properly feed the metering device at the
evaporator.

Compressors for each condensing unit were mapped using performance data from Bohn, the condensing
unit manufacturer, and Copeland, the compressor manufacturer. A multivariate regression analysis was
performed to solve for compressor efficiency (kW/TR) considering saturated suction temperature (SST), a
proxy for suction pressure, saturated condensing temperature (SCT), a proxy for discharge pressure, and
input power (kW) as variables. Regressions statistics and coefficients for SC5-2 is shown in Table 10.
Notice the adjusted R Square value is close to 1 indicating a strong correlation between the variables and
compressor efficiency.

Saturation temperatures (converted from raw pressure data) and concurrent input power (kW) data from
SC5-2 was used to calculate compressor efficiency and ultimately TR. Average TR was then pivoted with
respect to ambient DBT to arrive at the following cooling load relationship shown in Figure 8. This is a
fairly atypical load relationship for a freezer unit. Notice the load increases with DBT until approximately
47°F. At this point the compressor delivers its maximum capacity which diminishes as DBT increases, or
the lift across the compressor increases. As mentioned previously, this is a dual circuit unit with each
circuit serving one evaporator in the same freezer. A slight offset in zone temperature setpoints means
circuit SC5-2 is the lead circuit and SC5-1 is the lag.

Figure 11 presents the raw condenser fan motor power for the baseline case. It is important to note only
one of two condenser fans cycled on during the baseline data logging period; thus, the following figure is
representative of such. This was due to the relatively low ambient DBT during the logging period. Spot
measurements for voltage and power factor resulted in an average power of 2.05 kW per condenser fan
motor when on.

Figure 12 presents the raw evaporator fan motor and defrost heater power for the baseline case. It is
important to note all three evaporator fans cycle in unison. Average fan motor current is 11.18 Amps.
This evaporator is equipped with an electric resistance heater for defrosts. Average defrost current is
25.49 Amps. Logged data revealed the following average values regarding defrost cycles:
     Defrost cycles initiate every 219.1 minutes
     Each defrost period is 29.5 minutes
     A fan delay of 4 minutes exists post defrost cycles to allow the unit to drip dry and prevent the
        evaporator from blowing residual water droplets down the freezer aisle

Spot measurements for voltage and power factor resulted in an average fan power of 6.68 kW when in
cooling mode.

A similar multivariate regression analysis was developed for the 8,760 energy model to solve for
compressor efficiency (kW/TR) considering SST and SCT as variables. Regressions statistics and
coefficients for SC5-2 is shown as an example in Table 11. Similar regression analyses were performed
for each compressor model.

TMY3 weather data for PDX International Airport (provided by NREL) was used to develop an
annualized 8,760 energy model. Cycle rates for the logged cooler unit (SC5-3&4) and the logged freezer
unit (SC5-1&2) were applied to all other cooler and freezer unit power profiles. The input power for each
non-logged unit was calculated using multivariate regression equations and cycle rates. Table 12
summarizes the annual baseline energy use for each major component of condensing unit SC5 and Table
13 presents the annual baseline data for the compressors of all condensing units.

4.2.3.1     EEM 1 – High Efficiency Fan Motors

SMC supplied real power data for the high efficiency condenser fan motors. The average power data was
used in the 8,760 energy analysis when the condenser fan(s) were operational to control head pressure.
Figure 13 presents the raw data for condenser fan power. Notice during this data period the second
condenser fan motor cycles on. This is due to the slightly higher ambient DBT, and thus higher head
pressure, during this time. The average power for each condenser fan motor is 1.54 kW, a difference of
0.51 kW per motor.

Metered data for the high efficiency, switched reluctance motors was also provided by SMC. As
previously mentioned, SMC and the refrigeration vendor were unsuccessful in commissioning all three
evaporator fan motors for the test. Instead, two of the three high efficiency motors on the test evaporator
were operated. During this period, the compressor pulled a lower suction pressure on average; this is
illustrated in Figure 2 from 4/19/2018 onward. This is due to the unit requiring a higher temperature
difference (TD) across the coil to compensate for the reduced air flow (two fans vs. three fans). The
power data was proportioned to three fans for the 8,760 energy analysis, assuming the third fan will
eventually be commissioned. Figure 14 presents the raw high efficiency evaporator fan data as well as the
proportioned fan data if all three fan motors were operational. The average input power for all three
evaporator fan motors in cooling mode is 4.59 kW, a difference of 2.09 kW from the baseline case.

The reduction in evaporator fan power also saves compressor energy. This is due to the reduction in
motor heat dissipation as a result of the higher efficiency at the motors which are located in the
conditioned environment. The reduction in fan power was converted to refrigeration load (TR) and
multiplied by the operating compressor efficiency (kW/TR) for each hour in the model.

The high efficiency evaporator and condenser fan motors are still installed on circuit SC5-2. It is
recommended the third evaporator fan motor be replaced or recommissioned as well as variable speed fan
control. It is also recommended the high efficiency condenser fan motors be operated variable speed. This
will result in additional motor savings and compressor savings. Once all three evaporator fan motors are
operational it is likely the site will also realize additional energy savings as a result of fewer defrost
cycles. The Beacon II controller initiates defrosts with respect to demand via pressure and temperature
monitoring. Reduced evaporator fan energy reduces the internal load which will reduce time the liquid
solenoid valve is feeding liquid refrigerant to the coil. Though, this was difficult to model with the current
state of affairs with two evaporator fan motors operational and the compressor pulling a lower than
average suction pressure to compensate.

4.2.3.2     EEM 2 – Condenser Cleaning

Removing debris from the condenser coil will improve heat exchange effectiveness. The 8,760 energy
model assumes a 5°F reduction in approach temperature between ambient DBT and SCT. This
assumption is based on previous project experience. The minimum SCT, or head pressure, was not altered
in the model as this is important to allow for enough head to move condensed refrigerant to the
evaporators and properly feed expansion valves. Energy use was calculated for each hour in the model for
each condensing unit. Annual energy savings of 40,200 kWh are realized, or 2.9% from the baseline
scenario.

5.0 COMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS

5.1     PURPOSE OF COMMISSIONING

The purpose of commissioning is to ensure that the EEMs are properly installed, working as intended, and
delivering energy savings. Some simple EEMs, such as motor replacements, do not need to be
commissioned. Although Energy Trust of Oregon does not have a requirement for commissioning, doing
so for some measures makes very good business sense.

5.2     LOGISTICAL REQUIREMENTS AND CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE

Commissioning should be conducted during typical plant operation. Ideally, the facility would have most
or all equipment in use.

Commissioning is a cooperative effort between your staff and the contractor. Of course, it is your
equipment and you will have the final decision regarding how it is operated. Generally, the contractor will
spend a day on site for an initial commissioning visit (with periodic assistance from your staff). Some
projects require an iterative process of changing set-points/algorithms and observing performance to
achieve optimum performance. Your staff will be involved in these steps as well.

5.3     LIST OF SETTINGS TO BE OBSERVED/CONFIRMED/RECORDED

This section is meant for use by facility operators to ensure that settings have been implemented to
achieve energy savings. Note that these settings may be modified during the commissioning process.

       EEM 1: High Efficiency Fan Motors
          o If the high efficiency motors provided by SMC are still operating at constant speed and
              rely on the same control mechanisms as the baseline case, then:
                   Evaporator fan motors cycle based on zone temperature via the Beacon II
                       controller
                   Evaporator fans de-energize during defrost cycles including a short delay post
                       defrost for a coil cool or drip dry cycle
                   Condenser fans cycle to maintain a targeted head pressure based on cut-in and
                       cut-out pressure switches

       EEM 2: Condenser Cleaning
          o No setpoints are necessary to realize energy savings

5.4     PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION PLAN AND/OR O&M PERSISTENCE PLAN

Table 19 describes the procedure recommended for the PDC to verify that the system achieves the
estimated energy savings. Note that these settings could be modified during the commissioning process
and savings should be re-calculated if significant changes were made.
