The application of carbon dioxide in a building services environment.

Author(s) : WALKINSHAW A.

Summary

The paper identifies the specific benefits that the use of carbon dioxide could deliver for building services, in place of the standard chilled water and DX systems that presently prevail. It examines the practicality of such installations; addressing issues of system, piping, heat exchanger and component design. The implications for the safety of personnel installing a high-pressure and potentially asphyxiating fluid system in occupied space are also explored. The opportunity for capital cost and energy savings is also considered, based on specific applications.
