United States. Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. announced the launch of its online Life Cycle Climate Performance Calculator (LCCP) designed for supermarket designers and engineers.
The LCCP calculator is a web-based tool that allows users to compare different supermarket system architectures with various refrigerants. It calculates annual energy, total annual CO2 emissions and peak power, and is also able to provide recommendations to users.
"The LCCP software will be a valuable tool for supermarkets interested in limiting their CO2 emissions and will be able to provide an apple-to-apple comparison on the environmental impact of a given supermarket system," said Mike Saunders, technical sales and support director at Emerson Climate Technologies.
The configurable tool allows the user to enter the operating conditions in which to compare. Multiple types of systems can be analyzed, including co2 in direct expansion, centralized, distributed, cascading, secondary and reinforced. It allows to make a comparison of refrigerant between R404A, R407A, R410A, R134a and CO2.
