Economic of Chilled Water Storage System

What is Chilled water storage system?

Produce chilled water during night time off peak hours Utilize the chilled water during daytime evening peak hours, reducing operation or stopping main chillers. Requirement : large insulated tank with high volume.

Chilled Water A/C System

Non-Storage Air conditioning system High Initial Cost o High equipment cost o High space requirement High operating cost Load Level partial storage system Low initial cost o Low equipment cost o Low space requirement Low operating cost Full-storage system High Initial cost Cost may be higher than the non storage system Low space requirement Low operating cost (lower than the load level partial storage system)

Applications
Off-peak air conditioning Industrial / process cooling District cooling

Conclusion
If the application operates during the peak hours more benefits can be taken because of higher difference of energy charge per unit between the peak and off-peak Saving balances the initial installation cost Partial load shift systems often offer the lowest combination of capital and operating cost Operating cost and net capital cost should be analyzed using the life cycle cost method or other method to determine which design is best for the project Other items to be considered are space requirement's, reliability, and ease of interface with the planned delivery equipment
