Air Conditioning: Selecting the Optimal Cool Storage System
Keyword(s):
The present paper introduces the notion of cool storage system and summarizes its benefits, especially the environmental ones: air emissions savings and CFC reductions. Four existing cool storage types are outlined: chilled water storage, ice storage, PCM (phase change material) cool storage and high temperature water cool storage and a commonly employed value analysis method is introduced and applied to select the best cool storage option. An evaluating method is established and the best type of cool storage is obtained. The results indicate that high temperature water cool storage is the optimal option, and the method of value analysis has applicability in selecting an optimal system.
