Summary

States that the correct sizing of an air conditioning system requires data concerning the maximum heating and/or cooling load and that the system must be operated at or near optimum state. Due to fluctuating conditions and their effects on the heating and cooling load, external climatic conditions are an important consideration in determining the maximum load and the load distribution, ie, the external climate must be regarded as a stochastic time series. Analyses the stochastic characteristics of the load based on the optimal control theory. Makes use of this result to clarify the influence of the criterion of optimality and to obtain the optimum preheating strategy.
