Modeling and optimization of commercial building chiller-cooling tower systems.

Author(s) : SHELTON S. V., WEBER E. D.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using lower condenser water and cooling tower airflow rates on peak power demand, annual energy use, and capital costs for the overall system. In order to do this, mathematical models were developed that simulated the system performance based on manufacturers' component performance data. Results are given.
