Summary

Planning for district cooling applications requires an understanding of market conditions and equipment size and capacity limitations.  This presentation will outline current conditions and limitations inherent with capital intensive components of district cooling systems.  Specific equipment and components to be discussed include:

• Pipes
• Valves
• Pumps
• Chillers
• Cooling Towers

Originally evaluated for a large district cooling application with highly specific design requirements, issues addressed in this presentation identify optimal equipment sizes for a range of district energy applications. Capacity limitations, performance, lead times, cost trends, and design considerations will be discussed.
