District Cooling (DC) systems, an efficient system featuring a centralized cooling plant which serves a group of buildings, have grown increasingly popular as nations seek efficient ways to meet growing cooling demands. DC owes the rise in its popularity to itsproven ability to be as much as 50% mor[..]

Thermal Storage Benefits Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is a technology whereby thermal energy is produced during off-peak hours and stored for use during peak demand. TES is most widely used to produce chilled water during those off-peak times to provide cooling when the need for both cooling and pow[..]

During the refrigeration or industrial cooling cycle, heat is extracted from a cold system and thus needs to be rejected to a hot system. In order to achieve this, there are many heat rejection methods, and ARANER are specialists in the top 5 condensation technologies for heat rejection. First, the [..]

Growing Power Demands of the Middle East The power demands in the Middle East continue to grow exponentially as the population of the region grows. Other contributing factors to the ever-increasing power demands of the region include:

2019 is already halfway over, and with it, many trends in the Power Generation Industry seem to be underway. Natural gas-fired power plants continue to be on the rise with natural gas being readily available and reasonably priced in many areas of the world. Natural gas is expected to continue to hav[..]

Traditionally, the heating in homes and many commercial buildings has been provided by boilers burning fossil fuels. These methods were not only inefficient, but also have been responsible for the emission of substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. Many cities in Europe and throughout the world hav[..]

We live in a world that is grappling with problems related to a perpetually increasing population. Oil and gas alongside many other industries are on the receiving end of the effects of the growing global energy demand. The mix of challenges is characterized by volatile prices, stringent regulations[..]

All pressurized piping systems inevitably experience transient effects, whether due to normal or emergency events. Specifically, rapid flow changes during transient events generate propagating pressure waves which have both positive and negative phases, also referred to as water hammer, or in a gene[..]

Seawater has always been used as a practical resource for humankind in a wide extent. From the industries of fishing to medicine, it has then passed unavoidably through the energy field; electricity production or heat rejection are common practices in coastal industries. The latter mentioned applica[..]

The Montreal Protocol is an international agreement designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS). The agreement, finalized in 1987, is designed to protect the ozone layer which filters out harmful ultraviolet radiation. Ultravi[..]

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is a technology which allows the storage and transfer of thermal energy, either heat or cold. TES takes advantage of off-peak periods of electrical demand to produce thermal energy, which is accumulated in the tank for later use during peak periods. Hot or chilled water [..]

Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements. Each District Cooling project is individual and comes with its own unique set of considerations, and management must keep all of this in mind. Considerations for [..]
