Introduction
Low Delta T syndrome, a common problem in district-cooled buildings, significantly impacts energy efficiency and operational costs. At SETs, we offer a comprehensive, engineered solution to eliminate this issue maximize the benefits of your district cooling system, and avoid any kind of penalties.
What is Low Delta T Syndrome?
Delta T (ΔT) refers to the temperature difference between the chilled water supply and return lines in a building's HVAC system. Low ΔT indicates inefficient heat transfer within the building's Energy Transfer Stations (ETS) rooms. This leads to:
- Increased chiller energy consumption: Chillers must work harder to achieve the desired cooling effect.
- Reduced chiller capacity: The usable capacity of the chillers diminishes.
- District cooling penalties: Many district cooling providers impose penalties for buildings with low ΔT.
