Economical comparison of comfort ventilation and air-conditioning plants.

Author(s) : STEIMLE F., BIEL S., RÖBEN J.

Summary

In most cases the aim is to replace the dehumidification process, which normally is realized by refrigerating cycles, by alternative systems. Air dehumidification achieved by cooling the air below the dew point involves a high energy consumption. The paper treats three different air-conditioning systems for non-industrial buildings. The aim was to perform economic evaluation of the air-conditioning plants and to demonstrate the variable energy demand. Referring to the expected costs of the air-conditioning systems the price of a new dehumidification unit, which was developed at the University of Essen has been determined. The results show that a higher price of the new system can be offset by lower energy costs.
