The Solution

Advanced Climate Rentals supplied a temporary 200kw refrigeration system on a 8 week contract. 4x 50kw low temperature AHU’s with electric defrost and control panels.

A Trane ECGAN 212, 400kw hire chiller. A 250kva generator with 1000lt bunded fuel tank. The system proposed was relatively simple. A pressurised Glycol cooling loop was used run in 10 Bar rubber suction and discharge hose. An expansion vessel was fitted to buffer and maintain the system pressure. This was manually filled and pressurised with a multi-stage pump with a 35% Ethylene Glycol mix.
