Opportunity 35: Increased temperature in the switchboard room

Increase the temperature in the switchboard room to provide higher heat flow to adjoining rooms and thus improved cooling. Electrical equipment in the room has a design temperature of 35 degrees Celsius. Current room temperature is approx. 18 degrees Celsius. By increasing the temperature to e.g. 23 degrees Celsius, there will be an increased heat flow to adjoining rooms, and thus less need for cooling.

Process to get there: Held workshop for energy efficiency, where HVAC was looked at as topic. Is currently at the study state.

Estimated annual results:

  • 10.5 MWh savings
  • 6 tonnes CO2
  • Approx. 7 200 NOK in savings

Aker BP has assessed the measure for Skarv.
