1. A method for evaluating an air conditioning chiller having a condenser, an evaporator, and a compressor, comprising the steps of:

  • inputting condenser data and evaporator data into a computing device, which performs steps comprising;

    computing a condenser efficiency loss value based on a condenser relationship between condenser efficiency and the condenser data;

    comparing the condenser efficiency loss value to a condenser loss threshold value to assess chiller efficiency;

    computing an evaporator efficiency loss value based on an evaporator relationship between evaporator efficiency and the evaporator data;

    comparing the evaporator efficiency loss value to an evaporator efficiency loss threshold value to assess chiller efficiency; and

    calculating a chiller efficiency loss value by totaling the condenser efficiency loss value and the evaporator efficiency loss value.
