(a) A shopping mall at Causeway Bay is provided with an automatic staging variable flow chilled water system to serve a group of air handling units controlled by 2 -way modulating valves. The system has THREE (3) identical chillers each with a production pump and two distribution pumps (one duty / one standby). System pressure loss of each chiller circuit in Production Loop at full load is 35kPa at a flow rate of 13L/s. The characteristics of one production pump and one distribution pump are given as follows: Prndurtion numn (each). Determine: (i) the operation conditions (i.e. flow rates and working pressures) in both production and distribution loops at full design load. (13 Marks) (ii) the cooling capacity of each chiller at full design load if the design temperature of the chilled water entering and leaving the chiller are 13C and 7C respectively. (4 Marks) Given: Pt=RV2 Remarks: The graphical solution must be submitted as part of the solution. (b) As requested by the building owner, the chilled water system design in (a) should provide the best system balance and control. Recommend a suitable type of chilled water system for the distribution loop (direct-return or reverse-return) to be used for this building. Give justification on the recommendation. (4 Marks) (c) District Cooling System (DCS) at Kai Tak has been a successful case in the application of this kind of system in Hong Kong. Give a brief analysis on the feasibility of implementing the DCS in Sheung Wan business district area for centralised air-conditioning so that it can have a large saving in electricity consumption and a great reduction in carbon dioxide emission.
