The Chilled Water System ETS (Energy Transfer Station) room piping plays a crucial role in distributing cooling energy efficiently within a building. This system uses chilled water supplied from a central plant to absorb and transfer heat through heat exchangers, ensuring comfortable indoor temperatures. The ETS room acts as the interface between the district cooling network and the building’s internal air conditioning system.
Piping within the ETS room is designed to handle both primary and secondary chilled water circuits, maintaining optimal flow and pressure. High-quality insulated pipes minimize energy loss and prevent condensation, while valves, strainers, pressure gauges, and flow meters are strategically installed for proper monitoring and control. Stainless steel or carbon steel pipes are often used for durability and corrosion resistance.
Proper installation and alignment are essential to prevent vibration, leakage, and pressure drop. Each pipe joint must be tested for integrity before commissioning. The design should also include space for maintenance access and future expansion. Overall, a well-planned ETS room piping system ensures efficient energy transfer, reduced operational costs, and reliable cooling performance for modern HVAC systems.
