15 Outdoor air temperature and river water temperature - Though affected by outdoor air temperature, river water temperature fluctuates less than outdoor air temperature. - In summer, river water is advantageous as cooling water because it is.1 to 1 C cooler than outdoor air temperature. - In winter, conversely, river water is advantageous as heat source water because it is 1 to 2.8 C warmer than outdoor air temperature.

16 15 Hourly temperature fluctuations of outdoor air and river water In terms of temperature, river water is more advantageous than outdoor air as a cooling agent. <Outdoor air temperature (August)> - The temperature differential between a hot summer (21) and cool summer (29) is about 2 C. - The temperature differential between daytime and nighttime is about 4 to 5 C. Mean Hourly Outdoor Temp.[ C] Hour <River water temperature (August)> - The temperature differential between a hot summer (21) and cool summer (29) is about 1.5 C. - The temperature differential between daytime and nighttime is maintained at a lower temperature than the air.

17 Amount of heat sold by the plant (Total) - Cooling demand was on the increase and heating demand on the decrease until 28. Due to more internal heat generation caused by the use of more large computers as well as a higher occupancy rate - In 21, cooling demand increased in summer due to a heat wave. - Since 211, the power-saving effect has become noticeable as an effect of power-saving measures on the demand side. 8, Sales Heat Amount [GJ/year] 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Cooling Heating 32,833 27,942 29,815 3,293 8,912 7,997 5,441 6,651 59,48 9,324 68,722 56,481 53,339 17,431 18,23 19,27 64,135 2,979 Sales Heat Amount [GJ/month] 35, 3, 25, 2, 15, 1, 5, 5, 1, Station Open(28/9) Great Erathquake(211/3) Office3 Open Proceedings of the 14th International Conference for Enhanced Office2 Building Open(29/3) Operations, Beijing, China, September 14-17, 214 (213/5) Monthly Average Outdoor Air Temp.[ C] 16
