Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for temporary reduction of power consumption for cooling of buildings.
  • the reason for over-use of electrical transmission network systems is the lack of accessible power for cooling machines when the offices open in the morning and all of the cooling equipment is turned on almost simultaneously. During the rest of the day the power is then further increased when the outdoor temperature increases and the supply air for ventilation of the offices needs more cooling. To be able to manage the supply during the most critical period, very radical measures may sometimes be demanded.
  • the department of energy in a country may for example demand that the power consumption of a building is reduced by 50% during 5 hours.
  • To increase the cost for the power which is consumed during a certain time of the day may also be a way to decrease the power consumption.
  • a method which has been developed to manage the lack of electrical power for the cooling machines is district cooling, where one in cities near oceans or big lakes can obtain direct cooling, provided that the water in the ocean or the lake is cold enough, by burying in the streets large insulated conduits providing the buildings with necessary cooling water power through heat exchangers, hereby decreasing the power consumed by the cooling machines.
  • Air treatment and cooling plants that are used in this cooling method are mainly in operation only during the office hours. In which way the marine local environment will be affected in the long term is still unclear.
  • the drawbacks with district cooling are several. The investment cost is high and the buildings must be situated close enough together and near a water system in order for it to be practically and economically possible to use district cooling. This limits the use to a great extent.
  • Another method which has been developed to manage the lack of electrical power for the cooling machines is evaporative cooling whereby the ventilation air is cooled by moisturising it with water.
  • both the supply and the return air is moisturised and rotating heat exchangers and driers are also used.
  • the method may in many cases replace mechanical cooling but has its limitation in very hot climates or in hot climates with high air humidity. Air treatment and cooling plants which are used in this cooling method are mainly in operation only during office hours.
  • Another method which has been developed to manage the lack of electrical power for the cooling machines is the use of reservoirs for storage of chilled water coolth or ice coolth whereby the coolth is stored in water or ice reservoirs to eliminate the power peaks during office hours, by way of a cooling machine being operating during non-office hours and cooling the reservoirs and where the stored coolth then is used to minimize the operation of the cooling machine during the hours when the electrical transmission network system is the most loaded.
  • a problem with the cooling method mentioned above is that a separate storage plant is needed to buffer the cooling power which is produced.
  • Another problem with the cooling method mentioned above is that it is costly and complicated.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically a module-built house in horizontal section through a floor, more precisely the roof slab, with a number of underlying rooms A, B and the corridor C.
  • the rooms A and B are limited by the outer walls 1 , the corridor walls 2 and the room-separating walls 3 .
  • Each room A consists of three modules 4 at 3 ⁇ 1.2 m each (see FIG. 2 ) where in each module three connected channels 5 are run through by supply air from a, in the ceiling of the corridor C situated connector terminal device 6 and supply air channel 7 , which via vertical shafts connects to a fan room situated on the roof.
  • the supply air from the module 4 is then flowing through the supply air terminal device 8 into the room A.
  • the return air from the rooms A goes through a overflow terminal device in the corridor wall, not shown on the drawing, out to the corridor which in this case serves as collecting channel, for further transport to a fan room.
  • the floor slab in room A is used in the same way as the roof slab for distribution of supply air. In this case to a room situated below room A.
  • the modules 4 are laid up on the facade walls.
  • FIG. 3 shows schematically a flow chart for a part of the building, and how those in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 mentioned modules 4 are connected with the flow chart of the building. Only one module for each room is accounted for as an example.
  • the equipment for cooling and air-change of the building comprises a supply air fan 20 and a return air fan 21 . Further, a heat exchanger 22 , a cooling battery 23 , and four motorised cut-off valves 24 , 25 , 26 and 27 are included.
  • the cooling machine 28 supplies the cooling batteries with, for example cooling water, for cooling of the supply air. Via return air terminals 29 the return air in the corridor C is transported (see FIG. 1 ) back to the fan room.
  • FIG. 4 shows computer simulated cooling powers for the method according to the invention and the conventional method during the time period 00-24.
  • the electrical power for the cooling machine is normally around 50% of the supplied cooling power.
  • the slab as power storage must have enough capacity (mass) and be able to transport necessary air in the hollow channels.
  • the slab surfaces that is the roof and floor surfaces, must be accessible, that is thick carpets, false ceilings, sound absorbing baffles, etc. must be installed in a way so that the heat transfer by convection or by radiation is not hindered to any greater extent.
