District cooling is a highly efficient system that provides cooling to multiple buildings by distributing chilled water or another cooling medium from a centralized plant through a network of underground insulated pipes
This system is widely used in urban areas, commercial districts, and large-scale facilities to meet cooling demands in an environmentally sustainable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective manner. By producing cooling centrally, district cooling eliminates the need for individual air conditioning units in each building, reducing energy consumption, maintenance costs, and greenhouse gas emissions. The closed-loop distribution network ensures that chilled water is supplied to each building for space and process cooling. In contrast, the return water is sent back to the central plant for re-cooling, maintaining a continuous and efficient cycle. This approach enhances energy efficiency and contributes to urban sustainability by lowering peak electricity demand, reducing the strain on power grids, and improving overall cooling reliability.
