District cooling is the cooling equivalent of district heating. Working on broadly similar principles to district heating, district cooling delivers chilled water to buildings like offices and factories needing cooling. In winter, the source for the cooling can often be sea water, so it is a cheaper resource than using electricity to run compressors for cooling. Alternatively, District Cooling can be provided by a Heat Sharing Network which enables each building on the circuit to use a heat pump to reject heat to an ambient ground temperature circuit.
An aspect of the present disclosure provides a district coolingsystem including a cooling loop configured to cool one or more buildings, a conduit configured to draw water from a water body for cooling the cooling loop and a channel configured to receive the water that has been used to cool the cooling loop and to discharge the water into the water body The channel includes one or more ventilation shafts provided at least partially along the channel to cool the water in the channel. The cooling loop is thermally coupled to and fluidly isolated from the conduit.
