Engine Driven Chillers

• 1). Fuel an engine-driven chiller with natural gas. Using natural gas to drive an engine serves two purposes. It fuels a process when the waste heat is directed for a specific heating purpose, while it generates cooling. Using an engine-driven chiller fueled by natural gas instead of an electric motor also facilitates a savings in electricity, since it depends more on natural gas and minimally on electricity.
  
  
• 2). Use natural gas in a desiccant dehumidification system, which works by literally dehumidifying, reducing the moisture in the air. The drier air is cooler and it's therefore easier for the actual air conditioning system to cool the resulting dry air which results in the use of less energy.
  
  
• 3). Recover wasted heat with an absorption system, fueled by natural gas, that conserves energy from reduced consumption of electricity. Natural gas tends to cost lower in the warmer months when demand for cooling is higher. This natural gas-fueled cooling process works by evaporating either water or ammonia and is often used in large buildings such as malls and office buildings. Other big businesses benefit from natural gas-fueled cooling, including cold storage facilities, dairies, meat processors and ice producers, all businesses requiring efficient and cost-conserving cooling and refrigeration.
  
  
• 4). Reduce emissions from many of the fuels that humanity has been dependent on for decades by replacing them wherever possible with natural gas, which has been shown to emit lower levels of carbon dioxide than the two of the most widely used energy sources, coal and oil. Global warming is impacted positively by supplanting traditional fuels with natural gas. A supply of natural gas has been identified in North America that could satisfy the United States' consumption levels for at least a century.
