Accomplishing a successful district cooling system design has become an essential strategy for future urban development schemes.

The clean energy transition is gaining pace at a global scale as more and more key actors embrace the shift from traditional, fossil fuel-based energy sources to renewable and sustainable alternatives.

The water-to-water heat pump represents a key development for operators looking to decarbonize their projects and access sustainable, efficient heating and cooling equipment.

The debate over what is “the best” commercial refrigerant has been around and is unlikely to end anytime soon. Intensity on this matter is even increasing as leakage studies reveal the adverse effects of HFC emissions. The only way out for centralized systems is emissions reduction, which while poss[..]

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[..]

In the next one decade, the number of projects involving combined cycle technology will increase. There is only one reason for this projection: the high efficiency of combined cycle power plants. In this post, we will try to decipher what is the secret behind this efficiency.

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[..]

Many regions in the world are grappling with water scarcity. Numerous efforts to desalinate and trade in water are evidence of the magnitude of the problem. The World Bank puts the number of people living with absolute water scarcity at 2bn, a number that could hit the 4.6bn mark within the next 65 [..]

A look at the current state and future of district cooling in Saudi Arabia seems appropriate at a time when major transformations are taking place in this relevant market.

Two-phase immersion cooling represents a promising and exciting technology for server cooling.

If you’re wondering ‘What is ammonia refrigeration?’ you’ve probably heard recently of the increasing use of ammonia as an alternative to other refrigerants.

The need for sustainable cities is unquestionable. While these might take many shapes and forms in the coming years, a few figures can shed some light on the impending need for a model of a viable eco city.
