Direct cooling energy transfer station (ETS) model with in-building pumping and deltaT control. The design is based on a typical district cooling ETS described in ASHRAE's District Cooling Guide. As shown in the figure below, the district and building piping are hydronically coupled. The control valve ensures that the return temperature to the district cooling network is at or above the minimum specified value. This configuration naturally results in a fluctuating building supply tempearture.
