ESTIMATED ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND OPERATING COST FOR ICE STORAGE SYSTEMS WITH COLD AIR DISTRIBUTION.

Author(s) : BHANSALI A., HITTLE D. C.

Summary

THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE USE OF COLD AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS: 279 K (6 DEG C) IN CONJUNCTION WITH ICE STORAGE AS A MEANS TO FURTHER REDUCE PEAK POWER AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION. ANASSESSMENT WAS MADE OF WHETHER OR NOT ENERGY OR COST SAVINGS COULD BE ACHIEVED. A DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING AND ITS HVAC SYSTEM WILL BE PRESENTED. AN ALGORITHM FOR MODELLING THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ICE HARVESTER WAS DEVELOPED. FOUR UTILITY RATE STRUCTURES WERE USED TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF RATE VARIATIONS ON ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS. IN GENERAL, ICE STORAGE SYSTEMS CONSUMED SLIGHTLY MORE ENERGY ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, BUT PROVIDED THE LOWEST OPERATING COSTS.
