Energy analysis of cooling tower and metal holding tanks at Chassix

2018

Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2018 In this thesis, two different methods were used attempting to estimate heat loss from metal holding tanks and chutes at Chassix Norway. The first method uses thermal resistance to calculate the total heat loss without any measurements, while the second calculates the conductive, convective and radiative heat loss separately using surface temperature measurements. Resulting heat loss for one year was 605.65 MWh without measurements and 827.64 MWh after surface temperature measurements. Heat loss calculated using measurements is the most accurate, as it relies on fewer assumptions. Additionally, a model was created in Aspen Pl…
