Evaluation of the Performance of a Heat Pump System Incorporating Chilled Water Storage Tanks Installed in a Large Office Building

ABSTRACT Measurements were made over a long period to evaluate the performance of a heat pump system incorporating chilled water storage tanks installed in an office building with a total floor area of approximately 20, 000 m 2 . The energy consumption of two imaginary air conditioning systems for the building was calculated by using simulation, and the effectiveness of the chilled water storage air conditioning system was investigated by comparing the calculated values with the values obtained by measurement.
