Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
German term or phrase: Aggregatanzahl
Hi guys,

Could you help me out with this sentence, in particular "...redundant in der Aggregatanzahl n+1 ausgeführt..."?

Die zentrale Versorgung und Verteilung der Kälte ist redundant in der Aggregatanzahl n+1 ausgeführt.

Thanks,

Gavin

number of units
Explanation:
I take it you are taking about a cooling unit etc..
I all depends how you want to translate Aggregat, the common translation in a technical context would be unit.

Explanation:
I also tend to translate "Aggregat" by "unit", but "quantity" for "Anzahl" sounds better to me.

purchase quantity Abnahmemenge {f}
quantity of ... units Abnahmemenge von ... Stück

But „set“ is also possible

Quantity of cooling units
Given the fact that we have 2x5 PP2 manifold locations:
2x (5 systems +1 spare) = 12 active units (option 1)
2 spares ready for direct replacement
A total of 14 units are needed

While the financial methodology review above may be helpful, the real substance of the chiller analysis is the modeling of the chiller plant energy consumption on an annual basis. For a modest investment of time, a consulting engineer can create a reusable spreadsheet template for use on multiple projects, to model the energy use of a proposed or actual chiller plant using a modified bin method approach. That spreadsheet should include entries for the following:

1. Quantity of chillers, and their operating power consumption for each studied operating condition.
2. Quantity and power consumption of primary chilled water pumps.
3. Quantity and power consumption of secondary chilled water pumps, if applicable.
4. Quantity and power consumption of condenser water pumps.
5. Quantity and power consumption of cooling tower fans.

Step 5:
In the Capital Equipment Configuration module, use the Addsub Component
buttons to specify the quantity of pumps, plasma generators, and high-voltage
equipment. Use the same buttons to specify the use of shielding on each chamber.

The first step in chiller selection is understanding the options available. A building’s block load will determine the overall capacity, whereas part load will determine the number and quantity of chillers required, with multiple chillers providing the ability to stage chillers in response to load. A block load will take into account building diversity and load changes based on exposure, internal and external loads, and building schedules because all portions of the building will not be peaking simultaneously. The function of a space may also dictate sizing and plant reliability. Essential services, such as data centers or hospitals, require reliability and redundancy with the use of a backup chiller or chillers for N+1 or 2N redundancy based on an owner’s requirements.
