Focus Day: Sunday, 3 December 2017

Sunday, December 3rd, 2017


10:10 AM Power and load optimisation via energy-efficient district cooling methodologies

  • Learn how renewable energy reduces greenhouse gasses and overall energy consumption in District Cooling Plants (DCP)
  • Maximising the ‘peak-period saving potential’ of a DCP by holding chilled water in tanks to reduce the strain on the power system at peak hours
  • Using multiple cooling techniques for specific DCPs such as mechanically-driven compression cooling, cooling towers and ground water cooling to improve

10:10 AM Future and alternatives for cooling in Qatar: Openloop geothermal for cooling applications and deep injection for disposal of reject water

  • Integrating HVAC systems to optimise system performance for industrial process cooling applications.
  • Discussing the role of subsurface geology in locating water sources for cooling applications and water rejection.
  • Understanding the potential of utilising geothermal systems for cooling in Qatar for an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners.
