Connecting the “Islands” Into an EMS
Layers and Functions of an EMS
• Remote User Interface• Site Information• Data Feed
Key Elements
• On-site User Interface• User Management• Data Logging• Alarming• Cross-system Coordination
• Control Algorithms• Inputs and Outputs• Sensors and Transducers• Equipment Interface
Integration of Third Party Equipment Leverages EMS Functionality to Provide Control and Information
Benefits• Common User Interface Across Site• Remote Access• Normalized Information (Alarms, Logs, etc.)
Using EMS Infrastructure• Operational Visibility

Case Control Architecture Simplifies Electrical and Refrigeration Installation
Centralized Control Case Control
• Control Elements at RefrigerationRack or Electrical Panel
• “Home Runs” for Sensors • Separate Electrical Circuits for Loads
• Control Elements at Case• Communication “Daisy Chain”
to Supervisory System• Load Control at Refrigeration Case
Case Control Architecture Reduces Field Wiring and Provides Electrical Savings
• Reduce Line Voltage Wiring– Reduce Branch Feeder Wiring by 30% or More
– Reduce or Eliminate Circuit Panels and Breakers
– Reduce Branch Feeder Distance: Distributed Design
– Eliminate Line Voltage Control Home Runs to Rack
– Simplified Power Connections at Case
• Reduce Low Voltage Wiring– Eliminate Low Voltage Control Home Runs to Rack
– Simplified Low Voltage Control Connections at Case
• Reduce Case Field Wiring– OEM Factory Wiring of Control and Sensors
– Facilitates Factory Checkout Versus Field Troubleshooting
Utilizing Case Controls Reduces Energy and Maintenance Costs
Reduce Maintenance Costs– Additional Sensors Enable Remote
Diagnostics and Facilitate Faster and More Reliable Troubleshooting
– No Seasonal Expansion Valve/EPR/ Temperature Adjustments
Use Technology to Supplement Technicians
• Reduce Energy Used atthe Evaporator– Precise Control Eliminates
Mechanical Valve “Parasitic Losses”
– Optimized Valve Control Ensures Refrigeration System Operatingat Peak Efficiency
• Reduce Energy Used atthe Rack– Electronic Valve Facilitates Much
Lower Condensing Pressures
– Approximately 1% of Compressor Energy Savings per 2 psig Increase in Suction

Impact Energy Usage
Periodic Analysis Required to Ensure System Optimizations Not Compromised
Common EMS Issues That CanImpact Energy Usage
Fixture Settings– Check Case Temp Setpoints to Ensure Proper Settings
Sensor Offsets– Ensure Temperature Sensors Are Not Offset, Masking a Problem
Check Proper Operation of Liquid Level Sensors– Low Refrigerant Levels Increase Energy Usage
Humidity Sensors Affect HVAC and ASW Algorithms– Check to Ensure Correct Operation
Lighting Schedules and Overrides– Ensure Lighting Schedules Are Set Properly and No Overrides Are Present
Light Level Sensors Operational– Failed Sensors Could “Fail Over” to Schedules
Ensure There Are No Overlapping Defrost Schedules

Fixed Strategy Holds Suction Pressure Setpoint, Regardless of Load Floating Strategy Uses Feedback Loop to Change Pressure Setpoint
Based on Load Requirements Typically No Additional Hardware Required to Enable
Use Floating Suction Setpoint to Ensure ESR Control Continually Optimized
Optimized to Keep at Least One Valve Completely Open Based on Load
Floating Head Pressure Optimizes Condenser Operation Based on Ambient (TD)
TD (Ambient Following) Optimizes Condenser Control Based on Ambient Temperature
Target Condensing Temperature Set to Ambient Temperature Witha Fixed Offset
Fans Cycled to Maintain Target Temperature With Appropriate Overrides
Can Be Combined With Variable Speed Control Fans to Increase Efficiency
Studies Show Potential to Save Approximately 7% (Total Refrigeration Power) to 13% (With VSDs), Depending on Location
Defrost Strategies Can Result in Significant Savings as Well as Other Benefits
Normal “Timed” Defrost On-Demand Defrost
Implementation of Demand Defrost Results in 20% Energy Savings Versus Traditional Defrost Methods
Fewer Defrosts
