One major advantage of high capacity area cooling systems is that they allow rooms to be cooled at relatively high cold water flow temperatures. Various innovations in the field of radiant ceilings now make it possible to have even higher water flow temperatures for cooling applications. This consequently improves the efficiency of refrigeration units and in some cases even allows total independence on refrigeration units thanks to free cooling.

The White Paper addresses the following questions:

• How are the refrigeration unit, cold water flow temperature and free cooling interrelated?
• How do the selected radiant ceiling sail systems affect the cold water flow temperature?
• What potential for free cooling do high capacity radiant ceiling sail systems offer?
