Summary

TO MAKE USE OF LOW ELECTRICITY TARIFFS AT OFF-PEAK PERIODS, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT CHILLED WATER STORAGE MAY PROVE AN ECONOMICAL WAY OF PROVIDING AIR CONDITIONING. AN EXAMPLE IS QUOTED FOR AN ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY PLANT, FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED, IN WHICH THE INSURANCE COMPANY INVOLVED DEMANDED A SUBSTANTIAL QUANTITY OF WATER STORAGE FOR FIRE FIGHTING. BY INCREASING THIS AND DESIGNING REFRIGERATION PLANTS TO COOL THE WATER AT NIGHT ON A LOW TARIFF, SMALLER CHILLERS RUNNING LONGER HOURS COULD MATCH THE PEAK DAYTIME GAINS. ALTHOUGH THE HIGHER COST OF THE LARGER, INSULATED WATER TANK WAS MORE THAN THE SAVINGS ON THE SMALLER CHILLERS, THE PAYBACK TIME ON RUNNING COST WAS LESS THAN A YEAR. THE SYSTEM IS DESCRIBED IN DETAIL. D.W.H.
