在不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华的一个大型办公室/法院大楼内，一个使用热分层将冷冻水与回温水分离的大型冷冻水储罐已全面运行了大约六年。运行数据显示了冷冻水储罐在减少或消除日间冷水机使用方面的有效性。这些数据的两个方面将特别令人感兴趣。首先，在实际运行中，可用于有效冷却的水箱总容积百分比非常高，这证明了冷冻水储存中热分层设计概念的有效性。其次，一系列节能措施对冷冻水设备（冷却器和储罐）的整体运行产生的积极影响，加强了在设计和运行中考虑系统之间相互关系的重要性。将描述适用于该安装的操作限制和指南。 最后，本文还包括了使用数年后对储罐内部状况的观察。单位:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1987年，第93卷，第。1，纽约州纽约市

A large chilled water storage tank, using thermal stratification to separate chilled water from warm return water, has been in full operation for about six years in a major office/courts complex in Vancouver, B. C. Operational data are presented showing the effectiveness of the chilled water storage tank in reducing or eliminating daytime chiller use. Two aspects of these data will be of particular interest. First, the very high percentage of total tank volume that is available for effective cooling in actual operation proves the validity of the thermal stratification design concept in chilled water storage. Second, the positive impact on the overall operation of the chilled water plant (chillers and storage tank) made possible by a series of energy conservation measures reinforces the importance of considering the interrelationships between systems in both design and operation. Operational limitations and guidelines applicable to this installation will be described. Finally, the paper includes observations concerning conditions inside the tank itself after several years of use.Units: Dual
