District Cooling Plant with High Efficiency Chiller and Ice Storage System
Yoshinori Hida, Seiji Shibutani, Matsuyuki Amano, Noriyasu Maehara |
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) received an order from Singapore District Cooling Pte, Ltd., for a district cooling plant with a cooling capacity of 57 MW (16,210 RT). This project was an engineering, procurement, and construction contract that included the design, manufacture, procurement, construction, and commissioning of a high-efficiency district cooling plant that would serve as a model for South East Asia where the year-round cooling demand is high. One year has now elapsed since the start of commercial operation, and this plant is currently operating at higher efficiency than originally planned. This report describes the performance improvement technologies, such as the centrifugal chiller and ice storage system, that were introduced to achieve this increased efficiency.
