Electric Pump Skids for District Cooling

Pre-engineered, integrated pumping stations for reliable thermal network distribution.
Electric pump skids for district cooling are factory-built, modular assemblies that house the primary circulation pumps, motors, drives, valves, and controls required to distribute chilled water through a large-scale network. EKG Malaysia designs, fabricates, and commissions these turnkey skids, providing a single-source, high-reliability solution for energy transfer stations (ETS) and primary plant circulation.

Typical Skid Configurations & Components:

• Energy Transfer Station (ETS) Pump Skids:

  • Function: Interface between the primary district network and a building's secondary loop.

  • Includes: Plate heat exchangers, secondary circulation pumps (with VFDs), control valves, instrumentation, and a fully integrated PLC control panel for autonomous operation.

• Primary Distribution Pump Skids:

  • Function: Provide the main pressure boost to circulate chilled water through kilometers of supply and return piping.

  • Includes: Large horizontal split-case or multi-stage pumps in duty/assist/standby (N+1) configuration, high-voltage motors (3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV), soft starters/VFDs, and surge protection.

• Primary Plant Circulation Skids:

  • Function: Circulate water through the central chiller evaporators.

  • Includes: Constant or variable speed pumps, isolation manifolds, and corrosion-resistant components for treated water.

Key Design & Reliability Features:

• Redundancy: Designed for 100% system availability with automatic pump alternation and failover control.

• Energy Efficiency: Pumps selected to operate at Best Efficiency Point (BEP); VFDs for demand-based flow control.

• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Stainless steel, bronze-fitted, or coated components for long life with treated water.

• Advanced Control System: PLC with HMI for local control and SCADA/BMS integration (BACnet, Modbus). Includes data logging, alarm management, and predictive maintenance alerts.

• Factory Testing: Each skid undergoes Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), including hydrostatic, functional, and performance tests before shipment.

Advantages of a Packaged Skid Solution:

• Reduced On-Site Risk & Time: Up to 80% of assembly and testing is completed off-site.

• Single-Point Warranty & Responsibility: One vendor for the entire mechanical/electrical/control system.

• Optimized Footprint: Components are compactly laid out by engineers.

• Quality Assurance: Built in a controlled workshop environment.

• Easier Future Maintenance: Designed with clear access and service aisles.
