Hi all!
I am trying to size a buffer vessel...(thermal storage tank). It on-ditioning of a Commercial Building, using a water cooled chilled water system. I intend to have the buffer vessel so that i can discharge it during the time period of 6 pm to 10 pm...(4 horus)...so that i can reduce the peak electrical consumption of the building.
Can anybody help me with where to find details for the sizing. any formulae...or anything..book, website!
The total design load of the building is 600 tonnes, we can safely assume that the average load is around 80% of that.the operating temperatures are between 7 C and 12 C, and no glycol is expected to be used.
Also how do i design the pressure vessel, what all pressures should i consider?
