Abstract |
In-situ measurement was made to evaluate chiller performance and thermal storage density of an ice thermal storage system. The system belonged to a big hotel and the measurement was conducted during late October. Owing to very small cooling load, the data logging was possible for a single thermal storage cycle. However, operation history of the chiller showed a relatively good spectrum of data for performance evaluation. COP and ther-mal storage density were calculated. The COP at full load was about 4.07, which was lower than 4.8∼6.4 of new chillers. The measured storage density was about 10.9RT-h/m3(=152 MJ/m3), which also was lower than a criterion of normal performance(above 13.0RT-h/m3 or 181MJ/m3). The study result provides technical basis for quantitative ESCO business scenario. |
