Intelligent Chiller Plant Solution Powers a Major Transport Infrastructure Facility in Vietnam

Challenge

A leading transport infrastructure operator in Vietnam required a highly efficient chiller plant solution to support its large 16,000 RT chilled water system.

• High-efficiency chillers capable of significantly reducing total energy consumption
• A smart, advanced Chiller Plant Control system to ensure optimized, reliable operation while meeting strict redundancy and uptime requirements
• The ability to coordinate nearly 1,000 control points, including 8 chillers, 40 pumps, and 80 cooling towers

Solution

Trane collaborated closely with the project stakeholders—Owner, Consultant, and Contractor—to demonstrate the long-term value and reliability of Trane technologies for this critical infrastructure project.

Key highlights:

• Installed 8 × 2000 RT CDHG2250 duplex chillers using eco-friendly HFO R514A
• Optimized chiller footprint for easier installation and maintenance
• Implementation of advanced chiller plant control functions and optimization algorithms using Tracer SC+ and Symbio intelligent control technologies

Result

This integrated chiller and control solution delivers high efficiency, reliable operation, and full compliance with the project’s stringent uptime requirements.

• 38,800 MT CO₂e emissions reduction with ultra-low-GWP HFO R514A
• Chillers exceeded specifications, delivering a COP of 6.65 vs. required 6.17
• Expected to deliver 5–7% overall energy savings, with further optimization
