Oomi

Description

OOMI is an innovative community-based cooling system designed to replace the need for hundreds of individual split air conditioners in residential societies. With rising ambient temperatures and increasing dependence on ACs, cities suffer from high electricity consumption, excessive outdoor heat emission, noise pollution, and expensive maintenance. Each flat installing its own compressor leads to duplication of cost and contributes to the urban heat island effect. OOMI was conceptualized to solve these interconnected problems by introducing a centralized glycol brine cooling system that can serve multiple buildings at once.

In OOMI, a single large brine chiller plant cools a specially prepared glycol water mixture, which is stored in an insulated brine tank. This chilled brine is circulated through insulated piping to every flat, where compact indoor blower units replace traditional indoor AC units. Since the cooling load is shared, the system eliminates the need for individual compressors, significantly reducing electricity usage and maintenance costs. Households enjoy the same comfort of air conditioning at a fraction of the operational cost.

The use of glycol brine ensures stable cooling and minimal temperature loss even across long pipelines. This system is scalable and can be designed for 20 flats, 100 flats, or even large township buildings. Because the centralized outdoor plant is far more efficient than many small AC units, OOMI reduces carbon footprint, noise, and heat expelled into the environment.

OOMI is not only an engineering solution but also an economically viable model for the future of sustainable urban cooling. With the right investment, it can become a game-changing alternative to conventional AC systems, especially for large apartments, hostels, corporate buildings, and affordable housing clusters.
