Questions regarding energy consumption calculation
Thread Content
For example: medium-pressure steam at 3.5 Mpa is used to drive the compressor, producing low-pressure steam at 1.0 Mpa. So, how is statistics collected when calculating the energy consumption of computing devices? Is this calculation based on the consumption of medium-pressure steam and the generation of low-pressure steam? It still doesn’t count as consuming medium-pressure steam
It does not count as consumption of medium-pressure steam; only the inputs and outputs are considered, with the process itself not being taken into account
3.5 is counted as consumption, 1.0 is counted as output
Do you mean that this doesn’t count as consuming medium-pressure steam, nor does it produce low-pressure steam?
2L said, “It’s not considered as using medium-pressure steam; only the input and output are taken into account, and the process isn’t recorded.” I’m confused –!
That’s how it works: the medium-pressure steam generated by the device at 3.5 MPa is used to drive the air compressor, which in effect reduces the amount of electrical energy required. Therefore, the difference between 3.5 and 1.0 is not taken into account; the steam output by the device is 1.0 MPa, meaning that only 1.0 MPa of steam is considered as the actual output. So, 3.5 MPa is not counted, while 1.0 MPa is counted as the output
If the 3.5Mpa medium-pressure steam is purchased from outside, then when calculating the energy consumption of the equipment, it should be accounted for as the consumption of 3.5Mpa medium-pressure steam to produce low-pressure steam, right?
If 3.5 Mpa is purchased externally, 1000 tons of medium-pressure steam at 3.5 Mpa are used to drive the air compressor, after which low-pressure steam at 1.0 MPa is produced. In that case, does the energy consumption of the computing device mean using 1000 tons of medium-pressure steam at 3.5 Mpa to produce 1000 tons of low-pressure steam at 1.0 Mpa?
Consumes medium-pressure steam to produce 10 kilograms of steam
