Popis: | Variable speed drive (VSD) technology can be introduced in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, normally sized for peak load conditions, to match actual load requirements. The paper presents a detailed assessment of the impact of the application of VSDs to HVAC components in a public building. The study was based on the data provided by a long term monitoring of the performances. As regards the electricity consumption of pumping and fans, the investigation has pointed out the achievement of a global annual energy saving of 38.9% in comparison with the alternative of a constant speed HVAC system. |
