Recognized by the United Nations’ United 4 Sustainable Smart Cities initiative, the DLWC system draws water at 4C through pipes deep in Lake Ontario to a facility downtown where heat exchangers chill the water that flows to downtown buildings. Expanding the existing DLWC system by adding a fourth pipe will save 220 million gallons of water annually, reduce peak electricity demand by 60 MW, reduce Greenhouse gas emissions by 33,000 tons and boost the cooling capacity of the network by 60%.
“Instead of each building operating a separate chiller system, chilled water is brought from the lake and distributed to a network of buildings,” explained Paul Scarafile, Commercial Director, Canada, Armstrong Fluid Technology. “We’ve worked closely with Enwave since the DLWC system was launched 20 years ago, and we're extremely proud to have contributed to this most recent expansion,” added Scarafile.
