Centralised urban cooling for the new Al-Abdali district in Amman.
Urban cooling for a district that cannot waste water
APINA designed and supplied the district cooling system of the new Al-Abdali district in Amman (Jordan): the full design in a first phase (2010–2012) and the equipment supply in a second (2015–2016).
A centralised cooling plant with 80,000 m³ of thermal storage, ammonia equipment and APINA's own dry condensers, to cut peak electricity consumption with environmentally friendly technology.
Cooling plant with storage, distribution network and district served.
How district cooling works: from the plant to the building.
Why it's unique
Zero water consumption
Air-cooled chillers: decisive in Amman, where water is a very scarce resource.
Ammonia (R717)
High-efficiency natural refrigerant, with no impact on the ozone layer.
Thermal storage
80,000 m³ of storage to shift consumption to off-peak hours and lower the peak.
