Temperature reduction approach through adiabatic cooling reduces the chiller energy consumption and increases economizer hours. Shamshad Ali, CMD, Greenoz Cooling System Pvt Ltd, highlights on the importance of implementing strategies to achieve secure and sustainable energy access…
Adiabatic cooling is a temperature reduction approach, also known as evaporative cooling or evaporative adiabatic cooling. This approach is typically used in warm dry climates and where there are also sufficient water resources to improve the heat rejection efficiency – Water is misted into the air stream entering a condenser’s airflow via a high-pressure spray system. The water evaporates into the airstream, which reduces the dry bulb temperature and raises its humidity. Lowering air temperature to the condenser reduces the chiller energy consumption and increases economizer hours. The larger the temperature differences between the ambient dry bulb and wet bulb temperature, the larger the energy benefit.
Make in India Initiative
Energy research, development and deployment (RD&D) can be a strong enabler of India’s energy policy goals while also contributing to broader national priorities such as the “Make in India” manufacturing initiative. Through the initiative, the government is working to attract global companies to produce solar PV lithium batteries. Solar charging infrastructure and other advanced technologies in India.
The government is strengthening its innovation efforts in a broad range of energy technology areas, including cooling, electric mobility, and advanced bio fuels. The review also encourages India to institutionalise energy policy coordination across government with a national energy policy framework.
lEA’s report will be very helpful for designing our future course of action in the energy sector. India has moved from scarcity to surplus electricity over the past few years, while implementing the largest and the fastest energy access and energy efficiency programmes in the world. The report will help India to design implementation strategies to achieve secure and sustainable energy access for its citizens.
