Double crown TES diffusers for high-demand District Cooling applications

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems are accumulators that store the excess of cooling production during periods of low demand to be used in peak periods with high thermal energy needs. When no TES is installed, the thermal energy produced by the plant has to be adapted to the energy demand fluctua[..]

How do absorption chillers work?

The original design of an absorption chiller is credited to the likes of Ferdinand Carré, Carl Munters and Baltzar Von Platen, renowned scientists who did their works between the 1850s and 1920s. While the products were first produced commercially in 1923, it was only in the 60s that serious product[..]
