Energy Optimization of Condenser water loop in HVAC System using Artificial Co-operative Search (ACS) algorithm

This paper presents optimization of condenser water loop in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems using Artificial Co-operative Search (ACS) algorithm. Condenser water loop has various components like cooling tower, chiller, fans and pumps. Set points for this optimization are air and water flow rates, supply water temperature, wet and ambient bulb temperature. Energy cost obtained by multi objective optimization developed in this paper. ACS based approach is based methodology is equipped for taking care of the improvement issue In Comparison with the routine strategies, this technique can possibility of considerable decrease in the operating cost.
