Why Footprint Optimization? One of the most critical points faced by engineers when developing the basis of a District Cooling and Heating plant (DCHP) is the footprint optimization. 

The global coal-fired power capacity has grown significantly since 2000 to about 2,045 Gigawatts (GW) currently. Despite this progress, the last couple of years has seen several plants retire in the US and Europe. One fact remains though: coal fired power plant technology is not going anywhere. Perh[..]

Mission critical facilities like hospitals and data centers require extra resilient frameworks to guard against interruption to critical services for systems, businesses and operations. Anyone who operates such a facility knows well that failure is not an option here. As the global economy has becom[..]

The International Gas Union holds the World Gas Conference every three years, with the last event having happened in June 2018 in Washington, D.C. As the 2021 function in Daegu, South Korea nears, the issue of greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency is still the elephant in the room. Ask anyo[..]

  About 25% of greenhouse effect emanates from the industrial sector, either directly or indirectly. Construction, food processing, mining and manufacturing are key industrial subsectors where diverse processes result in direct CO2 emissions. Power and heat require a lot of fossil fuel combustion. P[..]

How much did that suit cost you? Of course, you can get that from the receipts. Nevertheless, everything in any space you are in now has an environmental cost that isn’t obvious. For instance, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) estimates that the creating a pair of jeans consumes 3,781 [..]

The cooling demand in urban areas is increasing because of comfort requirements, heat island challenges and internal heat loads. The relatively high temperatures of the Middle East and Africa are other significant drivers of district cooling demand. We are at a point where Saudi Arabia and fellow em[..]

Did you know District Energy Systems are essential for our cities in order to fight climate change, while remaining cost-effective and energy-efficient? The role of industrial heat pumps is key.

As the global energy demand increases at an alarming rate, governments and other relevant entities are faced with difficult choices that will have serious ramifications in future. The future prosperity of populations is at a delicate balance owing to continued overreliance on coal, gas and other uns[..]

Recent years have seen many industries initiate steps towards improved energy efficiency and better environmental responsibility. This shift has been prompted by many tangible benefits that include lower operation cost and minimal maintenance costs for equipment. While we must applaud the steps made[..]

Are you aware that on-peak cooling can be twice as costly as off-peak cooling? Applying leveraging technology for this disparity can reduce the burden on your wallet.  Thermal energy storage (TES) has a long and rich history dating back to the 1800s when North Americans used blocks of ice to preserv[..]

By now, you probably know that ARANER is a global brand in matters Industrial Refrigeration Engineering. The firm provides efficient energy solutions, a full range of standard or customized products as well as tailor-made professional solutions and services in a minimal amount of time. In the course[..]
