Seawater Air-Conditioning
Up to 90% less electricity consumption for cooling

SeaWater Air-Conditioning (SWAC) is an innovative system, which uses cold water from the depths of the sea (or lakes) as a coolant for Air-Conditioning systems of buildings situated in a close radius.

Anywhere around the globe where deep ocean seawater is available (about 700 m deep) and where the slope of the ocean floor is sufficiently steep, the SWAC system can be applied. In moderate climates air-conditioning can also be delivered from thermally stratified lakes with a depth over 20 m. For higher water intake temperatures hybrid systems can be used.

The main advantages of the SeaWater Air-Conditioning system are:

  • Up to 90% less electricity consumption for cooling
  • Low operational costs
  • Practically invisible and noiseless
  • High reliability and quality of cooling supply
  • 100% reduction of freon usage
  • Contribution to a sustainable environment

    A SWAC system is suitable for buildings (hotels, offices), which are cooled with conventional central air-conditioning, especially when chilled water runs through these buildings as a coolant. Furthermore, industrial processes can make use of the system for their cooling needs.
