Cooling System of the Polito's Energy Center

Abstract

This Thesis is based on Thermal and Energetic acquired concepts throughout the completion of a university degree and master. It will be carried out with the PoliTo (Politecnico di Torino) university, working from the so-called Energy Center1. There is a heat pump used for the hot water production and air conditioning of the whole building. We are going to expose the objectives, deepen in the explanation of the Energy Center itself, describe the thermal plant inside it, show the improvements that were carried out once it was a reality and make a functional analysis of it. Once all of this is exposed, the experimental data given by the sensor will be used. We are going to take the data of a whole year and we are going to separate it by months, calculating the average value for each month for each of the four values (in and out temperatures of the hot and cold streams). After that, the total average will be calculated. The next step will be to analyse these calculations through the Coolpack simulation system to, finally, compare them with the theoretical ones expected when the project was launched. All the schemes used will be shown in the annex and the support needed to fulfil this project in the Bibliography.
