HOW TO DEVELOP DISTRICT COOLING IN CHINA WITH SUCCESS

This paper aims at pointing out that how a District Cooling system can be a more energy efficientsolution compared with a decentralized cooling solution. In order to give a fair comparison, the authorapplies equivalent electric power coefficient of performance. This comparison approach will beinstructive for designing an energy efficient cooling solution in China.Firstly, the paper gives the definition, components and possible energy source of a District CoolingSystem.
