Abstract

VALDIVIA-NODAL, Yarelis; LAPIDO-RODRIGUEZ, Margarita  and  GOMEZ-SARDUY, Julio R.. Optimization of chilled water system in premature stage of coommercial design. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.1, pp. 54-65. ISSN 1815-5944.

In this paper the procedure of optimization for the conceptual design of a centralized air conditioning chiller water system is developed, for which a hybrid model is created that combines thermoeconomic tools with artificial intelligence technique such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) for the optimization of the final products of the system. With this objective the design and operation variables are calculated that guarantees the minimum total cost of the system, including the capital costs of each of its components and the cost associated to the energy consumed.

Keywords : thermoeconomic; optimization; genetic algorithms; chiller.
