Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de distribution d'eau réfrigérée, qui comprend une boucle d'eau réfrigérée en communication fluidique avec une pluralité de bâtiments et également en communication fluidique avec une pluralité de stations de réfrigération. Un système de surveillance et de commande communique avec l'une des stations de réfrigération, désignée ci-après station de réfrigération "commandée" car elle est configurée avec un ou plusieurs lecteurs de fréquence variable qui sont commandés par le système de surveillance et de commande pour moduler la vitesse d'au moins un élément de station de réfrigération tel que, mais sans y être limité, une pompe ou un ventilateur. Grâce à ce processus de modulation, une pression différentielle de la boucle d'eau réfrigérée peut être maintenue à un "point idéal" de façon à optimiser la sortie de station de réfrigération tout en réduisant au minimum la consommation d'énergie de station de réfrigération.
