a b s t r a c tThis study deals with determining the long period performance of a swimming pool heating system by utilizing waste heat energy that is rejected from a chiller unit of ice rink and subsequently stored in an underground thermal energy storage (TES) tank. The system consists of an ice rink, a swimming pool, a spherical underground TES tank, a chiller and a heat pump. The ice rink and the swimming pool are both enclosed and located in Gaziantep, Turkey. An analytical model was developed to obtain the performance of the system using Duhamel's superposition and similarity transformation techniques. A computational model written in MATLAB program based on the transient heat transfer is used to obtain the annual variation of the ice rink and the swimming pool energy requirements, the water temperature in the TES tank, COP, and optimum ice rink size depending on the different ground, TES tank, chiller, and heat pump characteristics. The results obtained from the analysis indicate that 6-7 years' operational time span is necessary to obtain the annual periodic operation condition. In addition, an ice rink with a size of 475 m 2 gives the optimum performance of the system with a semi-Olympic size swimming pool (625 m 2 ).

“…Hou and Zhang [40] presented an axial-flow air-vapor compression refrigerating system for air conditioning cooled by circulating water, in which wet air is a working fluid, an axial compressor and a turbine were used and circulating water cooled the wet air. The paper proves its feasibility through performance simulation and also indicates its advantages.…”

“…the PID control method, cannot meet the demands of refrigeration with satisfactory energy efficiency [4]. The amount of energy that must be moved varies considerably and depends on the desired temperature of the refrigerated space, the environmental conditions, and the level of internal heat generation within the refrigerated space [5]. Therefore, the energy-based analysis and optimization that have been successfully used to design a variety of thermal systems to achieve greater efficiency with rigorous care for all incident factors, such as energy destruction, becomes useful [6].…”
