A COMPARISON OF COOLING THERMAL STORAGE AND GAS AIR CONDITIONING FOR A LABORATORY BUILDING.

Author(s) : NEUMAN V. A., SAJED F., GUVEN H. M.

Summary

THE AIR CONDITIONING REQUIREMENTS ARE MUCH HIGHER THAN FOR OTHER BUILDINGS OF COMPARABLE SIZE. THE STUDY EVALUATES ENERGY EFFICIENT SYSTEMS IN THE CENTRAL PLANT OF A LABORATORY BUILDING. THERMAL STORAGE OPTIONS AS WELL AS GAS-FIRED AIR CONDITIONING ARE COMPARED TO A CONVENTIONAL DESIGN. THE OPTIMAL SYSTEM IS A LOAD-LEVELLING ICE STORAGE SYSTEMWITH HIGH EFFICIENCY CENTRIFUGAL CHILLING, CALLED TCHDL. THE CONSTRUCTION COST IS $ 72,000 LESS THAN THE CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM'S COST OF $ 3,900,000. THE CONCLUSION IS THAT LOAD-LEVELLING ICE STORAGE WITH CENTRIFUGAL CHILLING IS THE PREFERRED SYSTEM IN THIS CASE.
