A sophisticated, energy-efficient way to cool a network of buildings in cities or on college campuses is through district cooling. Huge, high-efficiency industrial-grade machinery is housed in central cooling plants, where it produces chilled water that is then sent to client buildings by way of a network of insulated underground pipes. In order to reduce the load on the electric grid brought on by the increased demand for air conditioning, district cooling is an essential component of the energy infrastructure in cities all over the world. Workplaces, shopping centres, homes, and other buildings that need interior cooling are supplied with chilled water through district cooling.
Rapidly rising temperatures and the long-term profitability of district cooling plants have been the driving forces behind the adoption of district cooling systems worldwide. In hot and tropical climates, as temperatures rise, so does the need for adequate cooling systems for individual comfort. The atmosphere around the tropics is hot and humid for the majority of the year, which raises the energy requirements for cooling and dehumidifying the air.
One of the most sought-after markets for district cooling systems is the Middle East. The sub-region has a hot climate with temperatures ranging from 35°C to 55°C due to the sharp rise in temperature, especially during the summers. Air conditioning uses up more than 70% of all energy in Dubai because of the harsh temperature there. As a result, by 2030, the city wants to use district cooling to provide 40% of its cooling requirements. In terms of capacity, the largest district cooling projects were finished in Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. The district cooling system in Qatar, The Pearl, has a cooling output of 450 MW overall and is currently thought to be the biggest integrated district cooling system in the world. The Middle East district cooling business is primarily driven by policy-imposed objectives, technological advancements, and a sharp increase in demand. During the period of forecasting, it is also expected that the Saudi district cooling market will grow quickly. The demand for the worldwide district cooling market is anticipated to soar throughout the forecast period due to rising global temperatures.
The production methods used in the global district cooling market include electric chillers, absorption chillers, and free cooling. The largest market segment, electric chillers, is anticipated to experience significant growth over the forecast period. Electric chillers are the best option for buildings that need constant temperature control since they offer an uninterrupted supply of cooling services. They work well for large-scale endeavours.
