Natural Gas Cooling Systems

How Natural Gas Cooling Works

These systems harness natural gas to drive the cooling process, delivering powerful performance while reducing reliance on the electric grid. They provide a high-efficiency alternative to conventional electric chillers by using natural gas to power the refrigeration cycle, rather than electricity-driven compressors.


Key Benefits of Natural Gas Cooling

  • Electric Grid Relief: Significantly reduces electrical demand and consumption by shifting cooling loads to natural gas—helping to ease strain on Philadelphia’s electric grid.
  • High-Efficiency Performance: Delivers effective cooling with lower energy waste.
  • Environmental Impact: Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by avoiding transmission losses associated with electricity from the grid.
  • Lower Operating Costs: Natural gas typically costs less than electricity, offering the potential for substantial energy savings.
  • Enhanced Reliability: Natural gas systems are less vulnerable to power outages, ensuring uninterrupted cooling during peak usage periods.
