Airport reduces energy costs
This paper describes the HVAC system with a heat pump at Florida's Orlando International Airport. The industrial heat pump works in conjunction with a 400-ton centrifugal chiller and two 1000-ton chillers, two cooling towers and two 200-hp oil-fired boilers for standby. The system heats the main terminal structure and two ''airside'' boarding centers by recycling heat from the chiller condensers that would otherwise be lost through the cooling towers. All controls for the heating and cooling system are centrally located and operated through a computerized energy management system. The system has paid for itself by recovering waste heat and virtually eliminating the need for fossil-fuel-generated-heat.
