Kaugjahutuse
Kaugjahutuse, also known as district cooling, is a system for refrigerating multiple buildings from a central source. Instead of each building having its own air conditioning unit, a single, large-scale chiller plant produces chilled water that is then distributed through underground pipes to various locations. This chilled water circulates through heat exchangers in individual buildings, absorbing heat and cooling the interior spaces. The slightly warmed water then returns to the central plant to be re-chilled.
This method offers several advantages over traditional individual cooling systems. Energy efficiency is often higher because
The implementation of kaugjahutuse requires significant initial investment in the central plant and extensive piping infrastructure.
