An Interdisciplinary Engineering Approach to a Facility Design Study with Emphasis on Energy Conservation. Volume 1. Executive Summary.
Abstract
An interdisciplinary engineering design study is made for a depot maintenance facility. The initial costs, performance, and energy and operating costs of various structural, electrical, and mechanical systems were investigated with the goal of attaining maximum conservation of energy. Where applicable, the impact of each of these subsystems on energy and operating costs for the integrated facility is evaluated to obtain data on which to base the final equipment and system selections. The following systems have been selected for the project facility to provide optimum energy conservation: (1) Spot cooling using an evaporative process for industrial applications, (2) a variable-volume air conditioning system for remaining building cooling requirements, (3) a cooling tower to supply process cooling water at 85F, and (4) a heat recovery system to reclaim excess heat energy.
