We frequently use ammonia refrigeration systems for very large cooling applications, such as Industrial Refrigeration. Chillers using ammonia are becoming commonplace in green buildings and may be a viable option for District Cooling systems. As refrigerant legislation continues to get tighter, enco[..]

The story of district heating in Denmark is one in which a combination of regulation and thoughtful planning have meant a giant leap forward towards the energy transition.

The physical phenomenon of latent heat has been understood for centuries as one of the key components of the study of thermal energy behavior. More recently, the importance of latent heat has taken a new meaning as a facilitator of crucial operations for developing a sustainable heating industry. Ke[..]

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems capture and store heat or cooling for later use, enabling renewable energy integration, reducing peak demand, and improving efficiency. There are three main types — Sensible Heat Storage (SHS), Latent Heat Storage (LHS), and Thermochemical Storage (TCS) — each wi[..]

From manufacturing processes to district cooling efforts, choosing the right chiller is an important decision for many companies, impacting both energy efficiency and performance. In fact, choosing a chiller that matches the application’s cooling load is a crucial step for an efficient and reliable [..]

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 has become a cornerstone technology for operators seeking to decarbonize heating and cooling systems while maintaining high efficiency, reliability and long-term cost stability. As governments, utilities and private developers accelerate their transition toward net-zero [..]

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 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[..]

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.
