Author(s) : JANSE VAN RENSBURG N. J.

Summary

AN ICE STORAGE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN CAPE TOWN. THE MAIN CHILLING PLANT EMPLOYS ICE-HARVESTER TYPE OF ICE MAKING EQUIPMENT AND INCORPORATES AN EXISTING WATER CHILLING UNIT AS A PRECOOLER TO AUGMENT THE CAPACITY OF THE ICE MAKING PLANT. THE WATER CHILLING PLANT OPERATES IN A HIGH EFFICIENCY WATER CHILLING MODE. UNDERGROUND PLASTIC < TUBE IN TUBE > PIPING, WITHOUT ANY APPLIED INSULATION, IS USED TO RETICULATE CHILLED WATER TO THE VARIOUS BUILDINGS ON THE CAMPUS WHICH REQUIRE AIR CONDITIONING. THIS SPECIFIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM HAS PROVED TO BE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE, WITH LOW HEAT GAIN, REDUCED CAPITAL COSTS AND MINIMAL MAINTENANCE.
