| Abstract | Almost fifty percent of the electrical energy consumption of the Asian Institute of Technology(AIT), is utilized by the central air-conditioning system for providing physical comfort in the conditioned space. The central chiller plant provides the chilled water for this purpose. The power consumption of the central chiller plant in 1983 was 25052300 kwh which is about 37% of the total AIT consumption. Since the chiller plant is the single biggest energy user, energy conservation program should be started from this point. This study concentrates on the opportunities of energy conservation in the central chiller system. Energy can be conserved by proper operation and maintenance of the chiller system. Large potential exists for energy conservation by systems modification and development. with alternative approaches, energy in the central air-conditioning system may be conserved by installation of a small size chiller unit for light load conditions. Considerable savings can be achieved through the utilization of these energy conservation potential. |
