Keeping cool has been a human preoccupation for millennia, but until the 20th century most efforts were

ineffective. People tried everything from draping saturated mats in doorways to the installation of water-powered fans. Even Leonardo Vinci designed and built

a mechanical ventilating fan, the first of its kind. The modern system—involving the exchange of hot, moist air for cool, dry air by way of a circulating refrigerant—was first used in industrial settings. Indeed, a North

Carolina textile engineer named Stuart Cramer, impressed with how the latest system of controlling the

heat and humidity in his plant improved the cloth fibers, coined the term "air conditioning" in 1906.

Since then comfort of cool is no longer considered a luxury but a fact of modern existence.

District Cooling System (DCS)

•It distributes chilled water from a central chiller plant to a number of buildings, whose building owners / operators have subscribed the DCS service.

•After connection with DCS, these service purchasers would no longer require to keep or use their own existing chiller plants.

•The absorbed heat from the user buildings is rejected by either sea water cooling or evaporative cooling towers.

Cooling Statistics

• 80% of commercial and institutional buildings in USA and Japan have Comfort Cooling

• <50% in EU, but rapidly expanding• Around 50% of the total cooling demand relates to process

cooling in commercial and institutional buildings, computer cooling etc

• 10% of the global electricity production is user for cooling• Chillers create summer power peaks • Average temperature is raised with 1-4 degrees in city

areas partly due to rejected condenser heat from local AC

WHAT IS DISTRICT COOLING?

District Cooling is a utility which provides chilled water to customer buildings via

a metered and controlled process.

Page 40: Rio LLC  District Cooling

40

• Basically, a district cooling system (DCS) distributes thermal energy in the form of chilled water or other media from a central source to multiple buildings through a network of underground pipes for use in space and process cooling. The cooling or heat rejection is usually provided from a central cooling plant, thus eliminating the need for separate systems in individual buildings.

• A DCS consists of three primary components: the central plant, the distribution network and the consumer system. The central plant may include the cooling equipment, power generation and thermal storage. The distribution or piping network is often the most expensive portion of the DCS and warrants careful design to optimize its use. The consumer system would usually comprise of air handling units and chilled water piping in the building.

Reasons for District Cooling

• No hassle and expense of operating and maintaining chiller plant

• More available facility space (no on-site chillers, pumps, etc.) for occupation

• No capital to repair and/or expand existing plant or to build new plant

• Has capital to repair and/or expand, but wants to spend money on something else

• People are also increasingly emitting more and more heat into buildings through all types of electronic equipment that generate extra heat such as computers and various other gadgets. All this has led to a growing demand for comfort in homes and offices, a need that is directly addressed by District Cooling.

• District cooling systems provide a variety of benefits, both qualitative and economic. The qualitative advantages are perceived in terms of better comfort, better reliability, and maximized convenience. Mechanical cooling and air conditioning requirements are growing rapidly throughout the world, partly because there are many new buildings being built and partly because those buildings are being built in warm climates. However, no matter where those buildings are built, they tend to be tighter and more densely packed than they used to be. This creates a need for air conditioning even in very cold climates.

Environmental Benefits of DC

• A central plant is more efficient than many small plants, reducing energy consumption.

• Central plants employ stringent emission controls - more so than individual buildings - providing air quality benefits.

• Reduces peak electric power demand for air conditioning

Energy Efficiency

• Industrial equipment are by far more efficient than commercial equipment.

• District cooling systems consume far less energy than air-cooled and water cooled systems.

• Using different techniques that help reduce the annual energy consumption by 55%.

• Flexibility of using different energy sources such as natural gas, electricity etc...

System Reliability

• Units used are high-tech and industrial which dramatically decreases the failure frequency compared to commercial equipment. District cooling reliability is in excess of 99.94%.

• Standby units always available at every cooling facility. • The average lifespan of industrial equipment is 30 years

compared to 15 years for commercial equipment. • Round the clock operation and maintenance at the

Central plant room ensuring preventive maintenance and a swift response in case of malfunctions.

• Better indoor humidity control. • Elimination of noise and freeing space, by eliminating

the need for chillers on every roof. • Minimum maintenance requirements, giving tenants

more privacy and security. • Higher system reliability due to a high-tech plant room

design. • Better building aesthetics - no bulky outdoor equipment. • More outdoor space made available. • An overall high comfort factor means happy tenants

Reduce Electric Power Requirement Distribution

• Air conditioning equipment consume around 70% of total building energy and constitutes 70% of the peak electric demand. By shifting that load from individual houses to a central plant, the housing electric load is reduced substantially and along with it the number of electric substations and length and sizes of electric cables.

• District cooling requires far less electric power than multiple plant rooms or ducted splits. Furthermore the plant room can house the electric substation, enormously reducing the electric works.

• Electric demand and peak shaving are easily controlled when district cooling is applied. This especially important in the case of on-site continuous or standby power generation.

• Gas engine chiller can be used for standby or peak shaving operation in parallel with electric chillers.

Reduce Maintenance

• A small maintenance team can maintain the central plant, as compared to the large number of maintenance team required to maintain many smaller plants or hundreds of condensing units. Fan coil units and air handling units require minimal maintenance and rear breakdown occurrence.

• Reduced frequency of equipment replacement due to longer equipment lifetime compared to commercial equipment.

Environmental Friendliness

• Improved efficiency reduces CO2 emission. Each 1 KW-Hr used from Electric utility network produces 1.05 Kg of CO2.

• Central plant room uses ozone friendly refrigerant such as HFC-134a. Leakage from one central plant is much lower than from many scattered plants or units.

What is necessary?

• Create a level-playing field for competition between individual and collective systems (green certificates, CO2-trading, subsidies and taxes)

• Take District Cooling into consideration in:• Energy Efficiency of Buildings Directive• Energy End-use Efficiency and Service

Directive • Security of Supply & Infrastructure
