| Abstract | A study on energy uses in Siam Inter-Continental Hotel. an international hotel with 400 guest rooms in Bangkok was conducted. In 1985, the total energy consumption of the hotel was about 47.12 million MJ and costed about 18.35 million Baht It comprised of 61.1% electricity, 33.8% fuel oil and 5.1% LPG ; accounted for 87.2%. 9.7% and 3.1% of the energy bill respectively. The thermal energy systems which are air conditioning system and steam generation system represented 64.1% of total energy consumption at a cost of 53.1% of total energy bill Energy and availability analyses are used to identify locations. types and true magnitudes of waste energy,including losses and irreversibilities from the thermal energy systems Opportunities for energy conservation in thermal energy systems are identified , analyzed and recommended. Preliminary economic evaluation of conservation measures have been attempted For the air conditioning system, a new operation schedule of chiller system for energy conservation is recommended based upon the past recorded data from November, 1985 to June, 1986. The possible saving is approximately 232053 Baht in .. wnv.‘ einht months. For the steam generation system. although the performance of each boiler is quite good, more frequent operation of the boiler with higher efficiency and better control of percentage of excess air of each boiler are recommended. The possible saving is at least 30609 Baht/yeah Installation of a heat transfer fluid system to replace the existing steam generation system is also analysed and recommended. The possible saving is approximately 337182 Baht/year |
