The world is consuming more energy. In 2013, the US Energy Information Administration's (EIA) reported that the world would consume 56% more energy by 2040. While increasing the capacity of gas turbine generators may seem very logical, the capital intensity of this approach is often a hindrance. ARA[..]

Industrial process chilling systems come with four main components: evaporator, throttle valve/ expansion valve, compressor and condenser. All these components demand a lot in terms of initial investment and the subsequent operating costs. In many industries, chillers are the single most energy cons[..]

The total number of heat pump , refrigeration and air conditioning systems in the world stands at 3 billion, according to the International Institute of Refrigeration. Their estimates show that the industry consumes 17% of the global electricity. This enormity has prompted manufacturers and other st[..]

The District Cooling Plant is crucial to the AYLA OASIS Resort Project Aqaba in in the Gulf of Aqaba, Kingdom of Jordan. Its purpose is to supply chilled water to the Energy Transfer Stations that will feed the luxurious residences, hotels and parks will form the landscape of this beautiful syntheti[..]

Gas turbines are a common sight in distributed energy applications. Driven by the ever-increasing need for higher peak loads in utilities, facility operators have found it necessary to ensure peak performance of gas turbines. One way of ensuring efficient performance of the gas turbine is regular ma[..]

We are in the middle of an energy crisis. After decades of unprecedented development in all corners of the globe, the energy demands are now extremely high. Economic development and population growth are the main drivers of this demand. The future of energy consumption is dependent on a number of fa[..]

The electrical system design of a cooling plant is deeply influenced by its final application. We can find a wide range of cooling applications in different industrial sectors in which cooling plays a vital role: Power generation, Oil & Gas, Data Centers, Medical facilities, Chemical plants… In [..]

Thermal energy storage (TES) using chilled water is a popular solution for facilities across the globe because of low operating and maintenance costs as well as minimal complexity. As long as there is enough space to accommodate the sizeable tanks, any building can use this method. The operation of [..]

High temperatures can generate production problems in industrial plants or uncomfortable environment in public or private edifications. In order to avoid these situations more efficiently, cooling plants are the solution. ARANER can supply high quality cooling plants with proven solutions in:

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system comprises of storage medium, a tank, a packaged chiller/built-up refrigeration system, and interconnecting piping, pumps, and controls. The basic concept of any TES system is that chillers cool water during off-peak hours and then the cooled water is stored in tan[..]

The change in power generation market over the last few years has been astounding. Market diversification has been very influential in Europe and other regional markets as feed-in prices decline and subsidization of renewable energy generation grows. Utilities and regulators have obviously been at t[..]

The technical benefits of Turbine Inlet Air Cooling systems has been widely discussed in many publications and are very well known for the Owners, the OEMs and the EPC Contractors. However, as any other engineering solution, the technical benefits must be associated to some economic benefits. We are[..]
