Choosing the right chiller is not just a design decision—Commonly used chiller types by capacity:

  In high-rise facility buildings, selecting the right chiller type based on cooling capacity, load profile, and energy efficiency is critical for smooth operations and lifecycle cost optimization. Commonly used chiller types by capacity: 🔹 Air-Cooled Chillers (Up to ~500 TR) • Best for small to mid-size buildings • Easy installation & lower initial cost • Ideal where water availability is limited 🔹 Water-Cooled Chillers (300 TR – 3000+ TR) • Preferred for large high-rise towers • Higher efficiency & lower operating cost • Requires cooling towers & proper water management 🔹 Screw Chillers (200 TR – 1000 TR) • Stable performance under variable load • Widely used in commercial high-rise facilities • Lower maintenance compared to centrifugal chillers 🔹 Centrifugal Chillers (500 TR – 5000+ TR) • Most efficient for very large capacities • Ideal for mixed-use skyscrapers & district cooling • Best life-cycle cost for continuous operation 🔹 Absorption Chill...

Choosing the right chiller is not just a design decision—Commonly used chiller types by capacity:

 In high-rise facility buildings, selecting the right chiller type based on cooling capacity, load profile, and energy efficiency is critical for smooth operations and lifecycle cost optimization.

Commonly used chiller types by capacity:
🔹 Air-Cooled Chillers (Up to ~500 TR)
• Best for small to mid-size buildings
• Easy installation & lower initial cost
• Ideal where water availability is limited
🔹 Water-Cooled Chillers (300 TR – 3000+ TR)
• Preferred for large high-rise towers
• Higher efficiency & lower operating cost
• Requires cooling towers & proper water management
🔹 Screw Chillers (200 TR – 1000 TR)
• Stable performance under variable load
• Widely used in commercial high-rise facilities
• Lower maintenance compared to centrifugal chillers
🔹 Centrifugal Chillers (500 TR – 5000+ TR)
• Most efficient for very large capacities
• Ideal for mixed-use skyscrapers & district cooling
• Best life-cycle cost for continuous operation
🔹 Absorption Chillers (500 TR and above)
• Uses waste heat / steam instead of electricity
• Suitable where heat recovery or CHP systems exist
Key Selection Factors:
✔ Peak & part-load demand
✔ Energy efficiency (kW/TR)
✔ Space availability (plant room/roof)
✔ Water & maintenance resources
✔ Operational reliability
Choosing the right chiller is not just a design decision—it directly impacts energy bills, sustainability goals, and occupant comfort.

Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems: A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries

Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems: A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries Preface Contents Preface The oil and gas industry depends on steel and other metals for pipelines, storage tanks, and infrastructure. However, these metals can corrode when exposed to water or soil, which is detrimental to the integrity of pipelines and storage tanks. This engineering book outlines the minimum requirements for anodes (high-silicon iron, graphite, magnetite) used in impressed current CP systems. It details the composition, materials, manufacturing, properties, inspection, and testing of these anodes. Additionally, it provides revised survey requirements to ensure corrosion control systems on buried or submerged structures are well-designed, operated, and maintained. The book also covers techniques, equipment, ...
