<\/strong>Tabreed completes district cooling pilot using heat <\/strong>transfer<\/strong> nanofluid tech:<\/strong>The UAE\u2019s National Cooling Company (Tabreed) announced the results of a pilot project it carried out over the summer exploring how integrating nanofluid technology in the district cooling sector can lead to energy savings, according to a statement<\/a>. The pilot \u2014 which Tabreed says is the world\u2019s first in heat transfer technologies \u2014 was carried out in partnership with Irish tech firm HT Materials Science<\/a> (HTMS), which provided the UAE company its patented Maxwell<\/a> nanofluids. Tabreed trialed the tech at one of its district cooling plants in Khalifah City, Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

What are nanofluids and how do they impact district cooling? <\/strong>Nanofluids are liquids with high thermal conductivity that play a crucial role as coolants. The fluid improves the process of heat transferring in district cooling units to increase energy efficiency, according to research in Science Direct<\/a>. <\/p>\n

About HTMS\u2019s Maxwell tech<\/strong>:<\/strong> The Maxwell nanoparticles are made up of aluminum oxide particles which are suspended in base fluids such as water to increase chilling capacity, the statement notes. Adding Maxwell\u2019s fluid (at a 2% concentration of nanomaterials) to chilled water loops in the district cooling system, increases the cooling capacity of the system by 15%. This increase also enhances the efficiency of chillers, fan units, and pumps while minimizing power consumption and carbon output, Tabreed says. <\/p>\n

The results:<\/strong> The Maxwell technology yielded a 13.6 % increase in the efficiency of the chillers at Tabreed\u2019s facility, leading to an overall plant efficiency improvement of 9% against the same period last year, the statement notes. The UAE company \u2014 which is currently expanding globally<\/a> \u2014 says applying Maxwell across its 89 district cooling plants would translate to some 200k tons of CO2 savings annually and could enhance overall energy efficiency by 9-15%. That energy efficiency improvements would amount to 335 GWh of energy savings.<\/p>\n

Next steps: <\/strong>Tabreed and HTMS are currently studying further usage of Maxwell technology across the former\u2019s district cooling assets, in a bid to push down energy consumption from the Gulf region\u2019s cooling industry (which accounts for about 70% of the region\u2019s power usage).<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- MENA ? district cooling: <\/strong>District cooling \u2014 which the UN notes are 50% more energy efficient<\/a> than conventional cooling alternatives \u2014 has taken off<\/a> in MENA, with the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, among others, launching a number of projects. Conventional cooling systems contribute over 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with estimates indicating that emissions will double by 2050.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
