Marley Middle East Air Cooled And Water Cooled Chiller Study Kansas City, United States Of America(1998)

This study was carried out for the Marley Cooling Tower Company, Kansas City USA, to highlight the critical issues determining the use of Air-Cooled or Water-Cooled Liquid Chilling units in the Middle East. The Marley Middle East Study is best summarized from an extract from our Client’s monthly newsletter – the MESA Momentum, Feb 2000 issue.
Quote “It’s 125 degrees F and you want to do what with our water?”

I In the U.S., perhaps as much as 95% of commercial air-conditioning systems are water-cooled. In the Middle East, the percentage is about that high for air-cooled systems.

Most of us know that water is a more efficient cooler than is air. At Marley, we were interested to know more about the comparison, to know what drove the Middle East market. We were unable to find objective literature on the subject. In late 1998, we decided to commission a comparative
study.

We contacted Mr. Mario Seneviratne of Green Technologies, Canada a Consulting Engineer with sixteen years experience in Dubai Air Conditioning Industry. Working with Mr. Seneviratne, we identified parameters for the study:

 Purchase price of chiller systems and their auxiliaries.
 Space requirements.
 Electrical operating costs.
 Water and water-maintenance costs.
 Other maintenance costs
 Sound levels.
