PROJECT RECORD

70 tonnes of secondary coolant for ice-storage air conditioning across 230,000 m²

Henglong Group 2015 HVAC & commercial real estate

Since 2015 the plaza's central air-conditioning system has used an LM-4 secondary coolant for ice-storage cooling, shifting peak electrical load and reducing corrosion and scaling in the water system.

Dalian Henglong Plaza opened in 2011 with a total construction area of 230,000 square metres spread across seven floors, combining retail, dining and leisure.

Since 2015 the entire central air-conditioning system has used an ice-storage design with "Glacier Coolant" as the secondary refrigerating medium. The ice-storage configuration shifts part of the cooling load away from the daytime electricity peak, and the coolant addresses corrosion and scaling that previously affected the water system. The project reports a significant reduction in overall electricity consumption and lower ongoing maintenance cost.

The original project description on the Glacier website refers to the product simply as "Glacier Coolant". The application — ice-storage cooling in a large commercial HVAC system — matches the LM-4 family of water-dilutable secondary coolants, which the catalogue describes for industrial cooling and heating with model-specific options for aluminium compatibility, elevated temperatures and specialised circulation.

Two names, one installation. The manufacturer's HVAC application page and a later article in its news archive both describe a Dalian landmark as Olympia 66, and the article repeats the same figures: one of the largest shopping complexes in Liaoning Province, 230,000 square metres of construction area, and 70 tonnes of LM-4 for ice storage since 2015. The identical area and the identical 2015 ice-storage date indicate a single project the manufacturer has described under two names, not two installations.
