Estimating the term…
An operation management apparatus includes: a refrigerant return temperature prediction unit that predicts a temperature Tr of a refrigerant returning from an air conditioner to a heat source system; a heat storage capacity estimation unit that estimates a heat storage capacity of the heat source system, based on the predicted refrigerant return temperature Tr; and an operation plan unit that creates a plan based on the estimated heat storage capacity. The heat source system includes: a storage tank that supplies the refrigerant to the air conditioner; a refrigerant generation unit that cools the refrigerant returning from the air conditioner via the storage tank, and supplies it to the storage tank; a refrigerant feed temperature detection unit that measures a temperature of the refrigerant from the refrigerant generation unit; and a refrigerant return temperature detection unit that measures a temperature of the refrigerant returning from the storage tank.
A heat source system operation management apparatus that is an operation management apparatus for managing operation of a heat source system that supplies a refrigerant to an air conditioner, the apparatus comprising:
A heat source system operation management method that is an operation management method for managing operation of a heat source system that supplies a refrigerant to an air conditioner by using a computer, the method executing:
A computer program that causes a computer to function as an operation management apparatus for managing operation of a heat source system that supplies a refrigerant to an air conditioner, the computer program causing the computer to implement:
