Abstract
Removed snow and its site causes serious problem in the heavy snow fall area. This unique air conditioning system uses removed snow as cold heat source. In summer season, it works as cooling apparatus circulating air between room and heat exchanger inside snow storage. Components are only snow storage by removed snow, double tube, heat exchanger and air blower. From winter through autumn 2005, this system has tested. This paper describes volume change of snow storage, air temperature change in systems, effect of cold heat on underground, cooling capacity and environmental load. On trial, cooling capacity is not enough, however, dehumidification is good, therefore this system provide for comfort. In addition, running cost and environmental load are much lower than that of usual air conditioning system.
