SolarCooling Monitor - Evaluation of energy efficiency and operation modes of solar cooling systems for air-conditioning in buildings in Austria

摘要

Between 2007 and 2009 sixteen new solar cooling plants for building air-conditioning were installed in Austria. The "SolarCooling Monitor" project aims as giving an overview of the current installation quality of solar cooling plants in Austria as well as the efficiency and operation performance. Therefore, ten of the newly installed solar cooling plants in Austria as well as one large-scale installation in Lisbon, which was realized by the Austrian plant engineering and Construction Company, were selected, in order to examine the performance by means of monitoring and simulation. The measurement procedure follows the framework of IEA SHC Task 38 level 3 [1] and the results will be presented at the next expert meeting. Within this conference paper, the goals, methodology and first results of the project "SolarCooling Monitor", which was funded by the Austrian national funding programme "Haus der Zukunft Plus", are presented. These first results and experiences referring to summer 2009 comprise: strengths and weaknesses of the solar cooling plants concerning coefficient indicators and operation performance; experiences from operation of selected solar cooling plants.
