Quick Guide to Use This Calculator
To use the Energy Recovery Factor Calculator, follow these simple steps:
- Enter the energy used for pumping, energy used by equipment, energy used for lighting, and energy used by the server in the corresponding field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to obtain the total energy, reused energy, and energy recovery factor.
- Use the “Reset” button to clear the input fields and recalculate if needed.
Formula
Energy recovery factor = Reused energy/Total Energy
Total energy = Energy used for pumping + Energy required for power + Energy required for lightning + Energy required for Server
Reused energy = Energy used for pumping + Energy required for Server
Input Field Details
- Energy Used for Pumping: The energy consumed for pumping the water coolant.
- Energy Used by Equipment: The energy used by switchgear and distribution-type equipment or machinery.
- Energy Used for Lightning: The energy consumed for peripheral building baseload.
- Energy Used by Server: The energy used by servers or computing equipment.
What Is the Energy Recovery Factor?
The Energy Recovery Factor is a metric that quantifies the efficiency of energy reuse in a system. It is calculated by dividing the reused energy (energy used for pumping and server) by the total energy consumption (including pumping, equipment, lighting, and server energy).
