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 Optimization of Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning HVAC Chilled Water Plant Systems written by Cliff Odhiambo Nudi and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heating, Ventilation, and Air-conditioning accounts for about 60% of the total energy consumed in commercial facilities including office buildings, hospitals, retail stores, warehouses, campuses, manufacturing facilities, medical facilities, etc. As the cost of electricity and energy continue to rise, building owners and facility managers continue to witness a rise in the Total Cost of Ownership. Chilled water plant system is the largest consumer of energy in HVAC system consuming 75% of the total energy used in HVAC according to the Department of Energy. Operating chilled water plant systems at the recommended AHRI Standard 550/590 for performance rating of water chilling and heat pumps temperature set-points seldom results in optimized operation and cost savings, since factors such as operation schedules, site-specific conditions such as prevailing ambient conditions, part load operations, keep on changing. The aim of this project was to design an optimized heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning chilled water system for a 100,000 square feet facility complex in Houston, Texas. By selecting a chilled water distribution system; chilled water temperatures, flow rate, and sizes; condenser water distribution system, condenser water temperatures, flow rate, and pipe sizes; cooling tower approach temperatures; and piping system optimization, a saving of 25% on the annual energy costs at peak load operations of the complex facility was obtained. This analysis also showed that as the chilled water supply temperature is set upwards, the pump energy increases but the chiller energy and the cooling tower energy decreases resulting in a positive net system gain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green buildings have become common in India and other countries in Asia. However, there is a concern regarding the performance of green buildings failing to meet the expectations of clients during the operation. One of the key reasons for this is poorly commissioned HVAC systems. In this publication we provide tools and knowhow for more efficient HVAC commissioning. It gives answers for four major questions: why commissioning is needed, how to perform proper commissioning, which key performance issues of common HVAC equipment need to be considered, and what kind of checklists are used during commissioning? It covers the entire commissioning process beginning with the owner’s project requirements and commissioning design reviews. Then, it explains procedures during installation and start-up of equipment followed by the functional performance testing, seasonal commissioning and 10 months’ operation review. This publication is developed by Indian Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers ISHRAE for Indian and Asian requirements in conjunction with the Federation of European HVAC Associations REHVA. The process steps described in this publication are in line with all major international building standards and green building certification schemes.

Download or read book Deep Energy Retrofit Case Studies written by Ruediger Lohse and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-02 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes results of research conducted with the goal of providing a framework, selected tools, and guidelines to significantly reduce energy use (by more than 50%) in government and public buildings. The scope of the book is limited to public buildings that were constructed before the 1980s with low internal loads (e.g., office buildings, dormitories, barracks, public housing, and educational buildings) and that were undergoing major renovation. The book contains description and analysis of 26 well-documented case studies from Europe (Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Montenegro, The Netherlands, and the UK) and the USA. After these data were collected, the case studies were analyzed with respect to energy use (before and after renovation), reasons for undertaking the renovation, co-benefits achieved, resulting cost-effectiveness, and the business models followed. Finally, “lessons learned” were compiled and compared. Deep Energy Retrofit (DER) is a major building renovation project in which site energy use intensity (including plug loads) has been reduced by at least 50% from the pre-renovation baseline with a corresponding improvement in indoor environmental quality and comfort. Lessons learned from the case studies and experiences of the team clearly indicate that DER can be achieved with the application of “bundles” of a limited number of core technologies readily available on the market. Specific characteristics of some of these core technology bundles generally depend on the technologies available on an individual nation’s market, on the minimum requirements of national standards, and on economics (as determined by a life cycle cost [LCC] analysis).
Download or read book District Cooling written by Alaa A. Olama and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DISTRICT COOLING: THEORY and PRACTICE provides a unique study of an energy cogeneration system, set up to bring chilled water to buildings (offices, apartment houses, and factories) needing cooling for air conditioning and refrigeration. In winter, the source for the cooling can often be sea water, so it is a cheaper resource than using electricity to run compressors for cooling. The related technology of District Heating has been an established engineering practice for many years, but District Cooling is a relatively new technology now being implemented in various parts of the world, including the USA, Arab Emirates and Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Existing books in the area are scarce, and do not address many of the crucial issues facing nations with high overall air temperatures, many of which are developing District Cooling plans using sea water. DISTRICT COOLING: THEORY & PRACTICE integrates the theory behind district cooling planning with the practical engineering approaches, so it can serve the policy makers, engineers, and planners whose efforts have to be coordinated and closely managed to make such systems effective and affordable. In times of rising worldwide temperatures, District Cooling is a way to provide needed cooling with energy conservation and sustainability. This book will be the most up-to-date and comprehensive study on the subject, with Case Studies describing real projects in detail.
