» All these places are permanently occupied
» They are subject to relatively high air conditioning needs all the time
» There is a reduction of the thermal load due to a slowdown in health care and a reduction in external heat loads
» The air conditioning demand is the highest during the on-peak hours
An important minimum load is requested all day long :
» Chillers capacity can be reduced
» Smaller electrical installation
» Lower operating costs due to a reduction in peak utility usage, maintenance and more efficient use of chillers
» Less space required for cooling towers and chillers
» Chillers can be stopped during peak hours
Base assumptions :
» The minimum cooling capacity represents 40 % of the maximum capacity
» On-Peak hours are from 6.00 pm till 10.00 pm
» Cooling needs are only covered by Cryogel Ice Spray System during peak hours
