Burj Dubai Tower
Dubai , United Arab Emirates
Project Information
The Burj Dubai Tower will be the tallest tower in the
world and the centerpiece of the gulf region’s most
prestigious urban development to date.
Challenge
The architectural phenomenon will be a global tourist
magnet that skyrockets Dubai into the global limelight
Solution
Dubai tower is an all-encompassing development,
containing residential and commercial districts, a hotel,
an entertainment district, and the largest shopping mall
in the world. The nearby old town , with its intimate
streets and architectural detail , will create a special
ambiance with the mystery of Arabia of yesteryear and
will feature a variety of restaurants, coffee houses ,
parlors , and gardens .The Burj Dubai Stands upon a base
of 1sq.km , and has estimated height of 705 m ( the true
value is a jealously guarded secret )
Results
The development of the Burj Dubai Tower will cost an
estimated US $20 billion. Construction was initiated in
April 2003, and is slated to be completed by December
2008.

"We wanted an efficient,reliable,durable & environmentally-friendly system & Trane was able
to meet this requirement & provide our consultants with the technical information they
needed’
’Hadi Ismail, director - technical services, Emaar Properties
For this groundbreaking project , Trane
provided 14 Duplex & 6 simplex CenTraVac
water cool liquid chillers for ice producing
capabilities , making the complex one of the
first in Dubai with an ice storage facility . The
chillers were extensively tested in the factory
with the client, to demonstrate the quoted
capacities & efficiencies.This facility also
contains a tube cleaning system to once again
provide efficiency for the customer.
Designed to be rugged and simple, yet
amazingly quiet, the CenTraVac is directly
driven, in low speed, by a motor shaft that is
supported by two aircraft – turbine rated
bearings. The design includes industrial-grade
components and only one moving part.
Likewise, the design purposely excludes speed
– increasing gears and light weight parts that,
while accessible, have a higher failure rate.
This Product has the highest energy efficiency
and lowest leak rate in the industry due to the
use of a low pressure refrigerant DuPont calls
SUVA-123. This refrigerant has the lowest
direct effect global warming potential and the
highest thermodynamic efficiency of all
non-CFC refrigerants. In addition, CenTraVac
chiller control includes feed forward algorithms
that dramatically shorten chiller response time
for energy – saving variable pumping
strategies. For more on CenTraVac’s solution,
