Across geographies and industries, commercial and industrial buildings rely on chilled water systems for a wide range of cooling processes. Despite their common use, these systems present specific ...

Maybe the problem was born in design - overestimating pump head, or a cooling tower that isn’t towering enough. Or it arose in installation - say, misconnected coils. Even then, a fix may create a new ...

A new book from ASHRAE and the Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning Associations (REHVA) provides guidance on designing chilled-beam systems. The Active and Passive Beam ...

The 42,000-sq.ft. Davis Building's geothermal system supplies 58°F to 62°F closed circuit ground source water to ceiling-mounted, active chilled beams. Chilled beams reduce fan energy by up to 50 ...

The North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) has issued a new publication, “Guide to Insulating Chilled Water Piping Systems With Mineral Fiber Pipe Insulation.” Developed for ...

Nelson Mechanical Design was asked to investigate an underperforming chilled water system at a large home overlooking the south coast of Martha’s Vineyard. The installing contractor had been let go ...

Digital Storm has a new cooling system out; built largely on its Sub-Zero Liquid Chilled system, it’s called Cryo-TEC Cooling. With the new system, the company expanded on the technology it used with ...

Electrical Contractor Metro Electric Co. In planning for the future expansion and improvement of its North Charleston, S.C., campus, Cummins Inc. selected Waldrop ...

Dating back to the late 1980’s, the principle of inlet chilling has been utilized to increase power output of combustion gas turbines. Since gas turbines are constant volume machines, air mass flow ...
