Energy Saving Potential of Air-Conditioning with Integrated Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage in Communication Stations

This paper introduces a new type of air-conditioning system for communication stations and analyzes its application potential in hot-summer and cold-winter areas. The potentials of its application in different stations are assessed through comparing the energy demand with energy saving potentials by means of simulation and on-site measurements. Taking the current conventional comfort air conditioners for communication stations as comparison basis, huge energy saving potential and reduction of CO2 emission have been found, which provides a good reference for the future study on energy saving and emission reduction of this technology application.
