Applications assessment for gas engine-driven chillers. Topical report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5909589
The report assesses the potential of gas engine-driven chillers in commercial HVAC and evaluates suitable applications. Market information is provided on existing HVAC products, with emphasis on water chillers. The history of engine chillers is reviewed, with factors which contributed to their growth and their later decline during the 60's. Benefits of using an engine prime mover are explained, along with other load-shifting options available to commercial buildings. An overview of building trends and owner/developer characteristics is included. Finally, the potential impact on summer gas use is assessed, as well as issues that affect commercialization.
