Summary

A COMBINED HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM IN THE CALIFORNIA STATE OFFICE BUILDING, U.S.A., SUPPLIES DIRECT SPACE CONDITIONING, DOMESTIC HOT WATER AND A UTILITY DISTRIBUTION NETWORK. ENERGY SAVINGS ARE MADE BY THE USE OF SOLAR COLLECTORS TO POWER AN ABSORPTION WATER CHILLER OR TO PROVIDE SPACE HEATING, ICE MANUFACTURE OVERNIGHT BY SCREW MACHINES WHEN LOW TEMPERATURE CONDENSER WATER IS AVAILABLE FROM COOLING TOWERS AND A FAVOURABLE ELECTRICITY TARIFF CAN BE USED. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN CONDENSER WATER CAN SUPPLY HEATING NEEDS AND WHEN NIGHT WET-BULB TEMPERATURES WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENTLY COOL CHILLED WATER FROM COOLING TOWERS TO PROVIDE FOR DAYTIME NEEDS. TO OPERATE SUCH A SYSTEM STORAGE IS REQUIRED FOR SOLAR HEATED WATER, CONDENSER HEATED WATER, COOLING-TOWER WATER, REFRIGERATED CHILLED WATER AND ICE. IF SEPARATE TANKS WERE USED THEY WOULD NEVER OPERATE SIMULTANEOUSLY AND WOULD THEREFORE REPRESENT WASTED SPACE AND INVESTMENT. A STUDY OF THE TIMES OF YEAR WHEN VARIOUS STORAGE NEEDS EXIST, ALLOWS TANKS TO BE USED FOR MORE THAN ONE PURPOSE. D.W.H.
