In the summer of 2024, Energy Recovery conducted a rigorous measurement and verification (M&V) program to assess the performance gains achieved by incorporating the PX G1300 into diverse system designs and load sizes.
PX G1300 Benefits
- Lower energy consumption
- Safeguard against heatwaves
- Minimize or eliminate water usage from adiabatic gas coolers
- Reduce carbon footprint
M&V Program Results
Installations across multiple sites demonstrated the PX G1300 pressure exchanger reduced energy consumption of existing systems while enhancing cooling capacity and system stability.
Energy Savings
The PX G1300 can deliver as much as 30% peak coefficient of performance (COP) lift with projected annual energy savings of up to 15% or more*.
Increased Capacity
The PX G1300 reduces flash gas in CO2 systems, improving energy efficiency and increasing system capacity. In normal system conditions, it saves energy, decreases dependence on water spray systems, and provides operational flexibility. Under high temperature stress, the PX G1300’s reduction in flash gas offers extra capacity and high temperature rack stability to protect against high-pressure discharge failure and associated downtime.
In a 150 kW system, incorporating the PX G1300 can increase system capacity by up to 15% at 35°C (95 °F), as measured by a reduction in flash gas through the MT Compressor, or result in a 6°C (11°F) rise in design temperature to safeguard against heat waves*.
