本文展示了从大型专用室外空气处理机组收集冷凝水，并应用冷凝水有效降低案例研究建筑的年度预计饮用水消耗量的可行性。计算了德克萨斯州三个地区的凝析油生产潜力；圣安东尼奥、休斯顿和达拉斯/沃思堡。给出了一个应用生产潜力的案例研究建筑。本案例研究计算并展示了建筑物的年度冷凝水产量，以及抽水马桶、小便器和冷却塔补给水的年度饮用水消耗量，以比较冷凝水供应和饮用水需求。案例研究大楼是位于德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市的一个医学研究实验室，经确定，该大楼每年的冷凝水产量为1887031加仑（7.15 x 106L），通常会输送至污水管道系统。 分析表明，案例研究大楼的大型专用室外空气处理机组产生的冷凝水可以完全补充每年的抽水马桶和小便器用水需求，超过1614031加仑（6.12 x 106L），可用于补充景观灌溉系统，或整个冷凝水生产可用于将冷却塔补给饮用水需求减少约16%。单位:双引文:ASHRAE交易，第115卷，第。2、路易斯维尔2009

This paper shows the feasibility of harvesting condensate from large dedicated outdoor air handling units and applying the condensate to effectively reduce the annual projected potable water consumption for a case study building. Condensate production potentials are calculated for three areas in Texas; San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas / Fort Worth. A case study building is presented, for which the production potential is applied. The case study building annual condensate production as well as the annual potable water consumption for the water closets and urinals and cooling tower makeup water is calculated and presented to compare condensate supply and potable water demand. The case study building, which is a medical research laboratory located in San Antonio, TX, was determined to have an annual condensate production of 1,887,031 gallons (7.15 x 106L), which would normally be sent to the sanitary sewer system. The analysis indicates that the condensate production from the case study building’s large dedicated outdoor air handling units can completely supplement the annual water closet and urinal water demand with 1,614,031 gallons (6.12 x 106L) of excess, which could be used to supplement landscape irrigation system or the entire condensate production could be applied to reduce the cooling tower makeup potable water demand by an estimated 16%.Units: Dual
