The article deals with the energy performance of gas cooling units with discrete and continuous speed control of air cooling fans. The method of estimation of increase of power efficiency at use of continuous regulation is developed. The estimates ofelectricity consumption in the assumption of a harmonic law of change of temperature of external air during the day, the results of calculations allow us to estimate the energy saving potential, and can be used to predict energy consumption.</p>gas cooling unitstemperature controlfrequency-controlled fan drivepower consumptionустановки охлаждения газарегулирование температурного режимачастотно-регулируемый привод вентиляторовпотребление электроэнергии
