Convert EIR to COP

Good Day,

I'm busy going through SIM files for locating the COP of a refrigeration system. I managed to find the EIR, from what I've researched eQUEST converts the COP into EIR in the background. However what is the formula for converting the EIR to the COP?

Many Thanks

Kind Regards

Damon

COP = (Gross Cooling Capacity [btu/hr]) / ((Total package unit input power [kW] - Supply Fan power [kW]) x 3413 [btu/kW-hr])

You have to remove the supply fan power*

Or:
COP = 1/EIR  (as long as supply fan power is removed)

This is from ASHRAE 90.1-2016
