Part load efficiency of air-cooled multiple-chiller plants.

Author(s) : CHAN K. T., YU F. W.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper reports analysis of the energy efficiency of air-cooled chiller plants in buildings and means of improving part-load efficiency. Load-frequency profile, weather-load profile and thermal performance lines obtained by simulation of typical office and hotel buildings in a subtropical climate are examined to address the methods of determining the plant size, identifying the loading characteristics, optimizing the combination of multiple chillers and evaluating the energy saving alternatives in design or retrofit.
