How do I calculate the required refrigeration capacity?

First, use `calculate_cooling_load` with your production volume and temperature delta. Then, pass that result into `size_refrigeration_system` to get the recommended capacity.

Can I account for pre-cooling efficiency?

Yes, the `calculate_cooling_load` tool includes an optional parameter for pre-cooling efficiency to account for heat removed by plate coolers.

How are operating costs calculated?

You can use `calculate_operating_costs` by providing the daily energy consumption and your local electricity rate per kWh.
