This article reviews the current research on the development and implementation of
automated fault detection and diagnostics (AFDD) technology for building systems. This …

A large cooling system of residential building in Changsha City in China was investigated in
the summer of 2003. The relationships among the controlled variables, uncontrolled …

Cooling load prediction is a critically important technology for ensuring energy conservation
in cooling systems. Examples include advance air conditioning control, chiller startup, and …

This study investigates the energy performance of chiller and cooling tower systems
integrated with variable condenser water flow and optimal speed control for tower fans and …

This paper presents the development of a new electric chiller model and the testing of it and
three public domain electric chiller models. These models enable analysis for the …

Cooling systems consume up to 25% of the total electricity used on deep level mines. These
systems are integrated with the water reticulation system to provide chilled service water to …

The emergence of increasingly affordable variable-speed drive technology has changed the
approach used to control chilled water systems equipped with these drives. The purpose of …

A review of reverse cycle machines thermodynamics is proposed. It is shown how starting
from equilibrium thermodynamics at the beginning, a new appraisal was proposed since …

This paper presents an improved ripple bee swarm optimization (IRBSO) algorithm to solve
the problem of the economic dispatch of chiller plants (EDCP). Using the characteristics of …

There are increasing views on implementing all-variable speed chiller plants in place of
conventional constant speed plants. Supporters of these views claim that all-variable speed …
