Worlds largest cooling plant


◉ Pearl of Qatar, a 400-hectare manmade island located off the
eastern coast of Qatar, began planning for their infrastructure
needs.

◉ The nominal 130,000 chilled water plant distributes chilled


water from a central plant to individual buildings via a
network of underground pipes. It has a guaranteed capacity
of 125,000 tons using 23 pair of 2,500 nominal electric motor-
driven centrifugal chillers.
Sameer Khandekar

◉ Each chiller unit is about 8 m long, 4 m wide, and 5 m all, and


weighs 2,500 tons.
