Residential Cool-Storage-Implementation Handbook. Final Report

摘要

The Cool Storage Instrumentation and Data Verification Program is a collection of field data and analysis and analytical studies of eighteen utility sponsored cool storage experiments. The results of this program are of interest to electric utility representatives responsible for the selection and installation of residential (or small commercial) cool storage systems. This document describes the various cool storage components and systems commercially available. System operating characteristics of these systems are presented. A workbook procedure is included to assist a potential user in sizing components, estimating energy and demand use, and calculating economic benefits from cool storage systems. A computer model simulating cool storage systems was developed which will enable utility representatives to optimize their own system design and predict energy use for different weather patterns. Users of this manual should be versed in air conditioning fundamentals, including sizing and installation procedures. (ERA citation 07:004496)
