An Assessment of Energetic and Exergetic Performance Analysis of Central Heating Plant in a University Campus

Abstract

Central heating and cooling plants are used in all living areas. Therefore, efficient use of energy is important. Energy and exergy analysis of the central heating plant located on the university campuswas performed and the performance was evaluated. Energy and exergy analysis of the hot steam boiler and other sub-systems connected to the heating plant was performed and the results were calculated.By calculating the irreversibility, it was found that the most important exergy loss was 6067.73 kW in the boiler unit.
