Two Electric Chillers 1. Following the schedules generated by the tool will result in substantial savings to the University. We also recommend that the CCWS examine ways of minimizing the number of base loaded absorption chillers. That is, the load placed on the current system to charge the TES is divided equally among all operating chillers. A dedicated system involves separating the TES piping system from the main system.
Thermal energy is transferred to the main piping system through a heat exchanger.
This allows the TES to store colder water, though some energy is lost through the heat transfer. Further study is recommended to determine an optimal operating policy for the TES over non-summer months and with dedicated chillers.
