Complete Design Guide for District Cooling Systems
The District Cooling Guide provides design guidance for all major aspects of district cooling systems, including central chiller plants, chilled-water distribution systems, and consumer interconnection. It draws on the expertise of an extremely diverse international team with current involvement in the industry and hundreds of years of combined experience.
In addition to design guidance, this book also includes a chapter dedicated to planning, with additional information on system enhancements and the integration of thermal storage into a district cooling system. Guidance on operations and maintenance, including several case studies, is provided to help operators ensure that systems function as intended. Finally, for those interested in a more in-depth analysis, the District Cooling Guide contains a wealth of references to information sources and publications where additional details may be found.
This guide is a useful resource for both the inexperienced designer as well as those immersed in the industry, such as consulting engineers with campus specialization, utility engineers, district cooling system operating engineers, central plant design engineers, and chilled-water system designers.
Keywords: District cooling, district energy, central chilled water plants, chiller plants, chilled water distribution systems, thermal utilities, thermal storage, campus utilities, utilities planning.
