<p>A control apparatus for controlling a thermalrecycling plant is provided, the apparatus able to save energy while keeping the thermal recycling plant in5 normal state. According to an embodiment, a thermalrecycling plant system includes a cooler cools coolant recycling thermal from coolant circulating in a loadapparatus and which consumes energy while operating and a controller controls the cooler. The controller10 includes a calculator and a monitor. The calculator calculates an optimal temperature optimal for the coolant by optimization calculation for minimizingenergy consumption under given conditions. The monitor monitors an operating state of the load apparatus to15 determine whether an abnormality exists in the loadapparatus. The monitor controls the cooler to cool the coolant to a temperature lower than the optimal temperature calculated, on determining that an abnormality exists in the load apparatus.</p> |
