Seawater air-conditioning and ammonia district cooling: A solution for warm coastal regions

The world switching to more sustainable energy sources curb CO2 emissions and haul climate change. One sector expected see rapid growth in consumption is the cooling due population A solution for needs coastal areas that are not often addressed seawater air-conditioning, which pumps cold water from deep sea shore uses it cooling. main challenge this technology distribute service. This paper proposes using pressurized ammonia services provided by SWAC plants. Results show district allows significantly increase its load demand lower costs. Ammonia could be missing piece implementing air-conditioning potential of systems.
