Abstract: Abstract This chapter briefly covers some of the major issues in the design and configuration of a district cooling system, including common system components, refrigerants, chiller and pumping configurations, and efficiencies. Important distribution system issues of insulation and corrosion protection are also covered, as well as direct and indirect building interconnections and temperature differential improvement. Emerging technology, the importance of environmental issues, and current trends that generate cooling using different methods are...
