Download or read book HVAC Chilled Water Distribution Schemes written by Anuj Bhatia and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In large commercial and industrial systems, chilled water system serves as means to transfer heat from building spaces to the refrigeration system. Initially, when energy costs were low, constant volume and primary-secondary systems provided a stable and simple operation of the chillers and distribution systems. However, as energy costs increased, particularly in the late 1970s, the efficiency of the chillers and the costs associated with operating the distribution system became more important. As a result, the need for new schemes to improve chiller performance and reduce energy costs drove the HVAC industry to advance chilled water technology, particularly in the manner that chilled water is delivered. To understand the hydraulic considerations associated with delivering chilled water and how they influence system performance, it is important to understand how technology and design challenges over the years have influenced today's approach to chilled water pumping. This 5 - hour Quick Book discusses the history of chilled water distribution systems and the development of “variable primary flow system”. Problems such as low delta-T syndrome associated with the chilled water pumping schemes are defined and discussed and finally, this course compares the advantages and disadvantages of primary-secondary and direct-primary pumping schemes. Three chilled water schemes are discussed:SCHEME -1: CONSTANT FLOW CHILLED WATER SYSTEM SCHEME -2: PRIMARY / SECONDAY DISTRIBUTION SCHEMESCHEME -3: VARIABLE PRIMARY FLOW SCHEMEThe course includes a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty five (25) questions at the end to enhance course learning. Learning ObjectiveAt the conclusion of this course, the student will able to understand:1. The basic hydronic principles i.e. relationship of chilled water flow rate v/s cooling load and the energy savings due to adjustable speed pumps. 2. How do constant volume chilled water systems different from primary/secondary arrangement?3. What is low delta-T syndrome and how it affects the chiller loading?4. What are the causes and mitigation measures to prevent low delta-T syndrome?5. Why distributed pumping arrangement is better than headered arrangement for constant flow systems?6. How do primary/secondary chilled water systems create hydraulically independent loops?7. How to size the de-coupler bridge?8. The characteristics of control valves and why 2-way valve is better than 3-way valve in variable flow systems?9. How do the variable primary flow system compare with primary/secondary system in terms of cost and energy?10. The importance of design tube velocity and rate of chilled water flow variations in variable primary flow systems.

Download or read book Thermal Energy Storage written by Ibrahim Dincer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-04-29 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades many research and development activities related to energy have concentrated on efficient energy use and energy savings and conservation. In this regard, Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems can play an important role, as they provide great potential for facilitating energy savings and reducing environmental impact. Thermal storage has received increasing interest in recent years in terms of its applications, and the enormous potential it offers both for more effective use of thermal equipment and for economic, large-scale energy substitutions. Indeed, TES appears to provide one of the most advantageous solutions for correcting the mismatch that often occurs between the supply and demand of energy. Despite this increase in attention, no book is currently available which comprehensively covers TES. Presenting contributions from prominent researchers and scientists, this book is primarily concerned with TES systems and their applications. It begins with a brief summary of general aspects of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, and then goes on to discuss energy storage technologies, environmental aspects of TES, energy and exergy analyses, and practical applications. Furthermore, this book provides coverage of the theoretical, experimental and numerical techniques employed in the field of thermal storage. Numerous case studies and illustrative examples are included throughout. Some of the unique features of this book include: * State-of-the art descriptions of many facets of TES systems and applications * In-depth coverage of exergy analysis and thermodynamic optimization of TES systems * Extensive new material on TES technologies, including advances due to innovations in sensible- and latent-energy storage * Key chapters on environmental issues, sustainable development and energy savings * Extensive coverage of practical aspects of the design, evaluation, selection and implementation of TES systems * Wide coverage of TES-system modelling, ranging in level from elementary to advanced * Abundant design examples, case studies and references In short, this book forms a valuable reference resource for practicing engineers and researchers, and a research-oriented text book for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of various engineering disciplines. Instructors will find that its breadth and structure make it an ideal core text for TES and related courses.
