The Palm Jumeirah – District Cooling Plant
“The Eighth Wonder of The World”.
The Palm Islands, also referred to as The Palm Dubai and The Palms, are the world’s three largest man-made islands, which are being built on the coast of the emirate of Dubai, in the U.A.E. The two Dubai islands, The Palm Jumeirah and The Palm Jebel Ali, will be built in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk; a crown with 17 fronds; and a surrounding crescent island – the back of which forms the breakwater. Collectively, the islands will support more than 60 luxury hotels, 4000 exclusive residential villas , 1000 unique water homes, 5000 shoreline apartments, marinas, water theme parks, restaurants, shopping malls, sports facilities, health spas, cinemas and various dive site. The district cooling company – Palm District
Cooling signed a landmark contract worth AED 191 million
with Shinryo Corporation after a comprehensive review of a
number of proposals and was based on the requirement to
procure the most efficient and cost solution.
The contract’s mandate is construction of two chiller plants
that will provide 49,000 tons of cooling for the second phase of
the Palm Jumeirah development. The plants will consist of
large centrifugal chillers -- widely recognized as the most
energy-efficient means of providing cooling for large-scale
developments. With 12 large compressor modules, 10 having a
capacity 4500 TR (refrigeration tons) each, the facility will
require approx 44 MW of electrical power at peak load
conditions during the summer, approximately 50% of the
electrical power required for conventional cooling systems
