Video .. 5 characteristics that distinguish "district cooling" from "traditional cooling"

The district cooling system relies on working mechanisms based on the production and distribution of chilled water in a central station and pumping it to customers in several buildings, through an insulated network of underground pipes, and then the water from those buildings returns to the central station to be recycled, cooled and pumped into the network from new.

The "district cooling" system includes five characteristics that distinguish it from the "traditional cooling" system in homes, which is carried out through air conditioning of all kinds, and among these characteristics is to reduce the demand for electrical energy at rates estimated by 50%, compared to conventional cooling, thus reducing the cost of consumption bills for tenants. And real estate owners.

District cooling units are distinguished by their ability to serve thousands of customers in several areas served by a single cooling plant, which is completely incapable of conventional air conditioning systems in buildings alone.

The characteristics that distinguish this system include that the life cycle of a "district cooling" plant reaches 30 - 40 years, compared to traditional air conditioning systems, which have a maximum life cycle of 15 years.

District cooling is characterized by low cost and high efficiency when used in locations that require massive cooling services, such as airports, universities, institutions and commercial centers.

District cooling has the advantage of actively contributing to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and preserving the environment through energy-saving systems.
