Abstract
Air conditioning system using deep seawater, including: a first pump pumping deep seawater; a seawater-coolant heat exchanger receiving pumped seawater, and performing heat exchange between a cold energy in pumped deep seawater and a coolant; an air conditioning heat exchanger receiving the coolant, and performing heat exchange with the coolant, to release cold energy in a target facility to cool the target facility; a fluid circulating system circulating the coolant between the seawater-coolant heat exchanger and air conditioning heat exchanger through a pipe using a second pump; and an operation controller controlling driving of the first pump at timing in advance of when a variation is anticipated in predicted heat loads of the target facility, based on a prediction operation status value and a predicted weather status value of the target facility, and based on a time lag due to a length of the pipe in the fluid circulating system.
