| Abstract |
For economic evaluation of cooling plant equipments, it is necessary to simplify energy prediction method, which should includes efficiency corrected by part-load ratio. This study proposed simplified method with regression equations of time-average partial loads and refrigerator capacity. DOE-2 program was used to carry out a parametric study of twelve design variables. Five input variables were considered to be significant and were used in the regression equations. To test accuracy of simplified method, calculated results were compared with DOE-2 simulated results. Test result showes a good agreement with the simulation result with an error of 5.9～7.6%. It is expected that this method can be used as an easy prediction tool for comparing energy use of different cooling plants during the early design stage. |
