摘 要：This report documents the development of part-load performance curves and there use with the EnergyPlus simulation tool to estimate the potential savings from the use of Rebel units compared to other standard options. The conventional direct-expansion cooling model in EnergyPlus and its performance curve equations are not appropriate to use to capture the Rebels performance; therefore, performance curves suitable for the Rebel unit were developed. The data for the performance curves were collected through a series of laboratory tests. A detailed Energy Plus model was developed for a prototypical big-box retail store. The model used the new performance curves along with detailed energy management control code to estimate the energy consumption of the prototypical big-box retail store in three locations (Houston, Log Angeles and Chicago). The energy consumption by the big-box store was then compared to a store that used three different reference units.
