Thermoeconomics applied to fan coil systems.
Author(s) : TOZER R. M., KLONDAR D., MISSENDEN J. F.
Summary
Thermoeconomics uses thermodynamics in conjunction with economic analysis to achieve improved cost benefit and quality in design. The thermodynamic analysis uses the second law and availability or exergy which is a measure of the usefulness of energy. The objective of thermoeconomics is to minimise a cost function, which is usually capital or life cycle costs, which are expressed in terms of thermodynamic variables of the system, for the specific design configuration analyzed. The paper specifically presents the methods for applying a thermoeconomic analysis to a fan coil system using air cooled chillers, and a two or four pipe fan coil system.
