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.

What is COP in Chiller Systems?

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.

Why COP Matters for Your Facility

• 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.

How EKG M&E Sdn Bhd Helps Improve COP

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we specialize in optimizing air-cooled chiller systems to maximize COP and minimize energy consumption through:
