Air-Cooled vs. Water-Cooled Heat Rejection

Design day is based on DRY BULB temperature

Consumes no water (no evaporative cooling)

Design day is based on WET BULB temperature

Consumes water (evaporative cooling process uses water)

THE ENERGY WATER NEXUS SAVING ENERGY

Johnson Controls, Inc. — 32

Definition: THE ENERGY WATER NEXUS

WATER FOR ENERGY

ENERGY FOR WATER

Energy and Water are Linked

Energy and power production requires water.

Water processing, production, distribution, and end use requires energy

Water-cooled district cooling plants also require water

THE ENERGY WATER NEXUS – Water Cost

WATER COST IS INCREASING • Population Growth

• Rising Standards of living – more water intensive

• Environmental pressures

• Infrastructure Costs

• Climate Change

Johnson Controls, Inc. — 35

THE ENERGY WATER NEXUS – Ways to Save Energy

SAVING ENERGY = SAVING WATER = SAVING MONEY

Avoidance Conserve Design Optimize Maintain • Insulation • Low-E Glass • Lighting

• Night setback • Isolate leaks • Lighting • CHW Reset

• District Energy • Highly Efficient and variable speed components, products and systems

• Central Plant and System Optimization

• Scheduled Service • Measurement and Verification plan

Johnson Controls, Inc. — 36

THE ENERGY WATER NEXUS – Ways to Save Water

SAVING ENERGY = SAVING WATER = SAVING MONEY

SAVE WATER : Reduce blow-down in the cooling tower Use well water, river water, sea water, effluent water

SAVE WATER : Use “waste heat” in a heat pump application

SAVE WATER : Collect and re-use cooling coil condensate

SAVE WATER : Use non-evaporative air-cooled heat rejection systems

Air-Cooled & Water-Cooled System Advantages

A-C RADIATOR SYSTEMS • No water consumption/ reduced chemical consumption

• Simplistic closed loop design

• Lowest maintenance

• Often Standard tubes and tube sheets

WATER-COOLED SYSTEMS • Lowest kW/ton

• Smaller footprint

• More supplier options

• Lower first cost

Summary Why do we need air conditioning? Allows building to be habitable. How does air conditioning work? Move unwanted heat from one area (building) to a location less objectionable. How does water play a role in air conditioning? Evaporation of water allows for energy and cost efficient heat rejection to the atmosphere. What roles do weather and climate play in air conditioning? Weather impacts both load and lift and thus energy consumption.

Johnson Controls, Inc. — 41

Summary Continued How can saving energy save water? Less energy equals less heat of rejection to the cooling tower. What can we do to save energy? Avoidance > Conserve > Design > Optimize > Maintain What are the two main choices in air conditioning heat rejection

systems? Air-cooled systems and water-cooled systems What is the Energy-Water Nexus? Energy Saves Water and Water saves energy! They are intrinsically

linked…
