Araner - District Cooling Systems
District Cooling is being implemented by many different organizations, both private and public, in commercial complexes, offices, hotels, new urban developments or hospitals and universities among others. Centralized production and distribution of cooling energy for real estate or industrial cooling solutions requires experience and excellence when the best results are expected. With over twenty years of experience in the design, manufacturing and installation of refrigeration engineering systems, ARANER has established itself as a reliable cooling solutions provider for cold storage and processing facilities, with cooling plants which are not only functionally sound, but also compliant with existing standards and regulations.
District Heating and Cooling Functioning
A Central Cooling Plant (or District Energy Technology) distributes thermal energy in the form of chilled and hot water from a central source to multiple buildings or consumers through a network of pipes used for cooling and heating. The cooling or heat energy is provided from a central cooling plant, thus eliminating the need for separate systems in individual buildings.
This solution is interesting when there is an appreciable concentration of cooling loads, such as densely populated urban areas and high density building clusters, and can offer economic and environmental benefits. As the central plant is large there will be economies of scale and higher thermal efficiency as compared to that of many isolated small systems.
Engineered type chillers and industrial compressor units are recommended in order to increase the efficiency and durability of the District Energy Plant.
