Summary

A large cooling system in a residential building in Changsha City in China was investigated in summer 2003. The relationships between the controlled variables, uncontrolled variables and the chillers' performance were obtained empirically with the test data. A model of optimal operation for the system was established based on these empirical relationships. A parameter, system coefficient of performance (SCOP), is presented in order to analyse the effect of energy saving of the cooling system. The results show that the energy saving is likely to reach up to 10% by applying the optimal model to the cooling system.
