本文介绍了一种通过明智地应用冰蓄冷系统，结合低温送风和低温冷冻水分配来降低办公楼建设成本的方法。讨论了空调系统的总能量，包括空气和水的输送能量，以及用于产生冷冻水的能量。通过将冰蓄冷的固有低温特性应用于空气处理和分配系统，实现了中央设备之外的优势。这些额外的优势包括减少空气处理和分配系统的空间需求，以及进一步减少电力负荷。这种组合可以减少对发电容量的需求，以及降低建筑成本。 引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第95卷，pt。1989年，芝加哥

This paper demonstrates an approach that can be used to reduce the construction cost of office buildings through the judicious application of ice-storage systems when combined with lowtemperature supply air and lowtemperature chilled water distribution. The total energy of the air-conditioning system is addressed, including air and water transport energy as well as the energy used to generate chilled water.By applying the inherent low-temperature feature of ice storage to air-handling and distribution systems, advantages beyond the central plant are realized. These additional advantages include reduced space requirements for air-handling and distribution systems, and further reduced electrical loads.Reduced need for electric power-generating capacity, as well as reduced construction cost, can result from this combination.
