ASHRAE 4692-2004 Development and Implementation of HVAC-KBCD A Knowledge-Based Expert System for Conceptual Design of HVAC&R System - Part 2 Application to Office Buildings《制定和实施HV.pdf

1、4692 Devel opmen t and I rn plemen tat ion of HVAC-KBCD: A Knowledge-Based Expert System for Conceptual Design of HVAC buildings from 200,001 to 500,000 ft2 comprise 15%, while buildings above 500,000 ft*represent 1 1 % of the total floor space. From this information it is clear that KBES developmen

Designing such buildings requires much more HVAC typically 15% of the total construc- tion budget is dedicated to the HVAC chiller plant will not have any absorption or gas engine chiller, fuel and gas heating.

5、 to Perimeter Secondary Systems w/ Primary Systems ASH RAE Transactions: Research 269 The ji!h rule (ElecBill-1) allows the user to select systems that can charge electrical usage to the tenant directly. Even though several packaged rooftop units can be designed in a way that will allow individual b

6、illing, WLHP has been selected as the only system that will provide this capability due to its flexibility. The sixth rule (Fin-tube-radl) allows the user to be consistent with the third rule (Climatic-1) considering the utilization of radiators or baseboard heaters in cold climates. The sixth rule

7、will not allow generation of solutions that are in conflict with the third rule. For example, if HDD 4,000 and the user elects not to allow perimeter baseboard heaters, the KBES will not generate a solution. This feature will encourage the user to be more aware of the air diffusion system if he/she

8、decides to use an overhead diffusion system for the perimeter zone. In order to override this restriction, the user must change the HDD to a value less than 4,000 (even though the local HDD may be greater than 4,000) and to disallow baseboard or radiators. The seventh rule (Chiller-1) allows the use

9、r to specify two chillers of equal size (where each chiller provides 50% of the chiller plant capacity), or two chillers of unequal size. The selection can be 40% or 60% of the chiller plant total cooling capacity. This strategy allows the user to optimize chiller plant operation where the smaller c

10、hiller (the 40% chiller) will run more efficiently at low-load condition compared to a 50% chiller. The 60%/40% split is considered to yield (as closely as possible) equal systems, which is good design practice from both a hydraulic and system reliability standpoint. The eighth rule (Chille-) allows

11、 the user to select only electric chillers or a hybrid chiller plant (electric and gas) as long as gas is available (rule 4). In some cases, the designer is reluctant to use gas-driven engine chillers due to reasons such as availability of service, professional preference, etc., even if gas is avail

12、able at the site. These rules have been found to be sufficient in order to initiate the process of synthesizing HVAC 9 Consumption For November-May For June-October Charge I $O.O5/kWh I $0.09/kWh I Monthly Standing Charge $100.00 I Gas: Available at $0.3 152lhherm.

26、, and 40 are the design alternatives with the lowest annual energy cost. The lowest energy cost solution is a gas-driven chiller and gas zone heating (in place of electricity, which was shown previously to be the lowest first cost solution). The availability of cheap natural gas and a constant elect

27、rical demand charge (regard- less ofthe time ofday and season) make the gas-cooling option the most energy cost-effective system for this building. All the ten solutions with the lowest energy cost utilize a hybrid chiller plant, where the gas-driven chiller is always the lead chiller and the electr

28、ic chiller is the second. The second elec- tric chiller can be a water-cooled Centrifugal chiller or screw (CHP 21 and CHP 10, respectively). The solutions with CHP 21 have a low operating cost since the centrifugal chiller is more efficient. However, the difference is insignificant (less then $5),

29、demonstrating that the gas-driven chiller does the majority of cooling. The all-electric chiller plant, shown as solution number 5 with CHP 17, demonstrates that for all- electric chiller plants, two centrifugal chillers are the most energy cost-effective. LCC analysis incorporates first cost as wel

30、l as annual energy and maintenance costs into one value representing the owning and operating cost for the systems lifetime. LCC anal- ysis demonstrates that from the ten selected systems, six systems (13,4, 18,9,3 1, and 40) utilize a hybrid chiller plant and four systems utilize all-electric chill

31、er plants (15,6,14,5). Most ofthe systems (the first eight systems) utilize natural gas for heating and only the last two systems use electricity for heating. Another interesting finding is that the most cost- effective solution from an LCC standpoint utilizes a hybrid 272 - I I Figure 3 OBce Buildi

The companion paper (Maor and Reddy 2004) addressed the HVAC&R conceptual design problem (or the selection of the HVAC&R design concept) and the limitations of current conceptual design procedures. It fo

41、cused on the elicitation and development of methodologies and knowledge to be incorpo- rated and represented in a DES. In parallel with knowledge elicitation and generation, a commercial KBES shell was selected as the HVAC-KBCD prototype. This software was used to demonstrate the efficacy of the met

42、hods developed. This paper is the demonstration of the concepts and meth- odologies described previously using the prototype -ES. One case study involving the conceptual design of an office building was selected for the demonstration. It served to demonstrate how the KBES can be employed as a design

43、 assis- tant to generate and evaluate a large number of design alter- natives to select promising HVAC&R systems. The HVAC- KBCD can be easily expanded to handle other building appli- cations, such as schools, hotels, retail stores, etc. The ultimate goal is to provide the building designer a tool w

44、hereby, upon simply specifiing certain initiation data, the KBES automat- ically synthesizes and evaluates the feasible solutions by sort- ing them according to a pre-specified criterion (such as LCC). As in the office building application, every other application has its own characteristics in term

45、s of architecture, operating schedules, typical cooling and heating loads, applicable HVAC&R systems, etc. All these characteristics can be explored and incorporated into the HVAC-KBCD, resulting in new sets of applicable HVAC&R systems and application- specific heuristics.
