1.1 Trend of District Cooling Plant in GCC Region

1. High DC plant demand in GCC1

Total capacity of DC plants in UAE, KSA and Qatar is 29% of the world in 2014.

2. Further growth of DC plant marketLarge capacity DC plants have been

constructed and under development in

GCC region. The DC plants in the region

will be 30 million RT until 20302.

3. Large capacity of DC plant.Scale of new DC plants is much larger than

conventional plants, like Madinah Hajj City

and Makkah.

1)UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, KSA.

The value includes the value of UAE, KSA, Qatar and Iran.

1.2 Issue for DC Plant in GCC Region

Design & method of operation for DC plant should be optimized to suit the climate

and the characteristic of cooling load in each region. The technologies would

reduce both capital and operating expenditure of the DC plants.

1. Optimal method for operating expenditureA operation method should be based on actual site condition in each region. Following

method would reduce the expenditure for DC plants.

1.1 Chiller number control: Operate chiller in efficient and high performance range

1.2 Control flow rate of chilled water variably

1.3 Control flow rate of cooling water variably

2. Optimal design for capital expenditureFollowing design for chiller and DC plant would reduce the expenditure.

2.1 Use large capacity chiller with 3,000 RT or more

2.2 Reduce footprint for large capacity chiller without cooling capacity

2.3 Reduce total chiller number installed in each DC plant

We have considered DC plant design and operation by using these methods in

Japan, Singapore and GCC region.

Although GCC countries are the highest temperature level that we have never

experienced in Japan . But the experience of Singapore must be useful, and the

temperature difference throughout the year in Tokyo is able to take advantage for the

design and method of operation

4.1 Chiller design for DC plant in GCC

1.We suggest 3 concepts of chiller design for DC plant in GCC to reduce capital expenditure.

(1). Large capacity, more than 3,000 RT

(2). Small footprint with the large capacity chiller

(3). High performance chiller even under the GCC condition

2.We suggest 3 solutions in order to meet the above concepts.

(1). Big capacity compressor apply for the chiller

(2). Dabble compressors on one chiller, Parallel unit.

(3). Series-Counter flow configuration by one Parallel unit or two units.

Larger capacity chillers and the smaller footprint should be selected to be less the plant

building cost.

3. Optimal control system

The optimal operation system controls the number of chiller, chilled water flow and cooling

water flow to reduce the operation expenditure in accordance with the cooling water

temperature and the cooling load. Reduction of the operation cost will be huge by using the

optimal operation.

Makkah

High performance FSD chiller, are suitable for typical GCC region, Makkah Dubai and Lusail. The Series counter flow parallel unit is one of best ways for DC plant in GCC region.

Madinah

In Madinah, the VSD is better than the FSD by about 9% at the view of annual energy consumption due to low cooling water temperature. The Optimal control system reduces additionally about 3% energy consumption.

The combination FSD & Optimal control system is better suited to typical GCC region, Makkah Dubai and Lusail, due to high cooling water temperature.

5. Conclusion

1. High performance FSD centrifugal chiller is suited to DC plant

in GCC region, due to high temperature cooling water.

2. The Optimal control system is reduce the energy consumption

of the DC plant by approx. 3% in any case.

3. If temperature difference through a year is large, the

combination VSD chillers and Optimal control system is best.

It improves the performance of the DC plant by 10%

4. The series counter flow parallel unit with double

compressors is ideally suited to DC plant in GCC region, due

to large capacity, high performance and small footprint.
