The Overlooked Benefits Of District Energy Systems
2

• District cooling is the process of centralising
  the production and distribution of cooling energy
  within a neighbourhood or district.
• Through a network of underground pipes, it
  distributes cooling capacity in the form of
  chilled water from a central source to multiple
  buildings.

3

• District Cooling System consists of the following
  components
• Central Chiller Plant - produce chilled water for
  cooling requirements
• Distribution Network - distribute chilled water
  to multiple buildings
• Consumer Substation - interface with structures'
  own air-conditioning circuits

Benefits of a district cooling energy system
5

• Energy efficiency
• As compared to conventional air-conditioning
  systems, District Cooling is an energy-efficient
  air-conditioning system that saves up to 35
  energy.
• By using environmentally friendly chilled water
  instead of toxic ozone-depleting refrigerants,
  District Cooling System lowers the carbon
  footprint and increases energy efficiency.

6

• Reduce air pollution
• Due to lower utilization of fossil fuels and
  fewer chances of accidental leaks, District
  Cooling System reduces both indoor and outdoor
  air pollution.

7

• Reduces global warming
• Reduces global warming caused by refrigerants,
  particularly hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)
  refrigerants, by eliminating the need for
  chillers and air conditioners in buildings.

8

• Economical benefits
• End-users would benefit from space savings at
  their location with centrally generated comfort
  cooling because there is no need for a chiller
  expense and stressing over chiller size or limit.
  
• The operation is also versatile since each
  building can control how much or how little
  cooling is required, and building owners can use
  the same electricity supplier, all while
  providing a comfortable, vibration-free
  environment.
• It also reduces the overall maintenance costs.
  Moreover, DCS is one of the low-cost cooling
  system available in the market.

9

• DCS is one of the most efficient cooling system
  in the modern age.
• Most metropolitan cities across the globe are
  using it.
• DCS technology must be promoted and implemented
  for large-scale projects as a solution for
  increasing air temperature in urban areas.
