District Cooling Chilled Water Lines 

Industrial manufacturing plants often have large cooling requirements for processing equipment and buildings can be supplied from either chiller lines, or have district cooling supplied through chilled water pipelines. These pipes can be prone to water leaks, especially those installed many years ago and over time, the underground lines that are exposed to subsidence and ground changes, can lead to cracked joints or seams. These pipelines can range in size from 4” to 16” or even larger, so the potential amount of chilled water losses could lead to huge amounts of water soaking away into the ground, showing no visible signs of water problems at the surface. To avoid water loss, save time and minimize potential maintenance costs, district cooling leak detection might be a necessary solution.
