Saving Effect

The recent expansion of the internet network and rapid advancements in information and communication technology are expected to lead to a significant increase in power consumption and the number of data centers. However, these data centers consume a considerable amount of electric power all year round, regardless of working days or holidays; thus, energy saving at these facilities has become essential. A disproportionate level of power consumption is concentrated in computer rooms because air conditioners in these rooms are required to operate throughout the year to maintain a constant indoor environment for stable operation of computer equipment with high-heat release densities. Considerable energy-saving potential is expected in such computer rooms, which consume high levels of energy, if an outdoor air-cooling system and air conditioners are installed. These systems can reduce the indoor space temperature by introducing a relatively low outdoor air temperature. Therefore, we studied the energy-saving effect of introducing an outdoor air-cooling system in a computer room with a disorganized arrangement of servers and an inadequate air conditioning system in a research complex in Korea. The findings of this study confirmed that annual energy savings of up to approximately 40% can be achieved.

The airflow change in cold storage were simulated by FLUENT under following three conditions, pre-cooling, stop to defrost and switch cold storage door. The result shows that the pre-cooling wind speed should be chose reasonably while guarantees the pre-cooling effort, hot air defrost had a favorable defrosting performance, and it is essential to seek optimal defrosting time according to the frost thickness and energy consume. The temperature field near the switch door was analyzed, and the temperature gradient near the switch door is considerable, but the outdoor air can be obstructed by increase air curtain.

Saving Measure

It is known that reducing the temperature setpoint is an effective heating energy saving measure for all kinds of buildings. This study focuses on the heating demand saving effect of the same buildings for different functional uses based on the same climatic background (Beijing) and the same reduction in the heating setpoint. Through comprehensive analysis of the absolute energy saving amount (ESA) and the relative energy saving ratio (ESR) from different time perspectives, the heating energy saving mechanism in reducing the heating temperature is discussed. Two types of completely different heating saving mechanisms were found: (1) the behavioural energy saving (BES) was dominated by those heating hours in which the outdoor air temperature or indoor integrated temperature was in the reducing range of heating setpoint, and(2) the energy saving of the temperature difference (ESTD) is dominated the rest heating hours. When the buildings were used for different functions, the annual ESA was determined by the numbers of the above two types of heating hours, and the annual heating ESR was mainly determined by the heating hours when the heating demand was large.

AbstractTo analyze the energy-saving effect of a twisted rudder, this work presents the simulated and experimental results of propeller-rudder systems. In this article, a surface panel method (SPM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are introduced to simulate the hydrodynamic performance of propeller-rudder systems. The thrust coefficient Kt, torque coefficient Kq, open-water efficiency η of the propeller, and thrust coefficient Kr of the rudder as a function of the advance coefficient J are obtained and plotted. The energy-saving effect of the twisted rudder is analyzed by comparing the results of numerical simulation and a cavitation tunnel experiment. The experimental energy-saving effect is 2.23% at the design advance coefficient J = 0.8. The pressure distributions of the propeller blade and rudder are plotted by two methods, and the difference of the force on an ordinary rudder and a twisted rudder is discussed. This study improved the experimental twisted rudder model. The change makes the rudder take advantage of propeller wake and improves the energy-saving effect of a twisted rudder. After improvement, the energy-saving effects obtained by the two methods are 0.448% and 0.441%. To analyze the energy-saving mechanism, this study compares the pressure distributions and efficiencies of different systems.

High Performance Buildings

The purpose of this study was to provide a guideline for the selection of technologies suitable for ASHRAE international climate zones when designing high-performance buildings. In this study, high-performance technologies were grouped as passive, active, and renewable energy systems. Energy saving technologies comprising 15 cases were categorized into passive, active, and renewable energy systems. EnergyPlus v9.5.0 was used to analyze the contribution of each technology in reducing the primary energy consumption. The energy consumption of each system was analyzed in different climates (Incheon, New Delhi, Minneapolis, Berlin), and the detailed contributions to saving energy were evaluated. Even when the same technology is applied, the energy saving rate differs according to the climatic characteristics. Shading systems are passive systems that are more effective in hot regions. In addition, the variable air volume (VAV) system, combined VAV–energy recovery ventilation (ERV), and combined VAV–underfloor air distribution (UFAD) are active systems that can convert hot and humid outdoor temperatures to create comfortable indoor environments. In cold and cool regions, passive systems that prevent heat loss, such as high-R insulation walls and windows, are effective. Active systems that utilize outdoor air or ventilation include the combined VAV-economizer, the active chilled beam with dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS), and the combined VAV-ERV. For renewable energy systems, the ground source heat pump (GSHP) is more effective. Selecting energy saving technologies that are suitable for the surrounding environment, and selecting design strategies that are appropriate for a given climate, are very important for the design of high-performance buildings globally.
