This study is to explore the way to lower energy consumption since the energy cost is increasing by using cooling tower. This study is designed to use circulating water tower in top floor reservoir replace traditional cooling tower. Separated into experimental group and control group, analyze the feasibility of using sustained water use on top floor reservoir instead of traditional cooling tower to compare each energy saving result. The study focuses on using sustained water use on top floor reservoir and the property of tap water normal temperature instead of traditional way by using cooling tower to do the research. The temperature will get increasing by heat exchange on traditional cooling tower, relatively the increasing temperature will lower chiller performance and cause power consumption. Explore the temperature into the water and volume of usage from top floor reservoir, compare performance of chiller with traditional cooling towers, and do the comparison on the power use by two circulating cooling modes. Experimental group costs about NTD 3 millions and control group costs about NTD 3.7 million, the difference is about NTD782 thousand. According to the cost variance, it shows that using water reservoir to be cooling system can totally replace traditional cooling tower, and also provide energy saving and cost saving.
