Event air conditioning hire for an unusual project aboard an 747 aeroplane.
Event air conditioning hire for an unusual project aboard an 747 aeroplane.
Approached at short notice, we were presented with a significant problem by the client…..
The plane was due to be used for an event, this included decking out the fuselage with live foliage to give a woodland theme.
However, the client was concerned that the high ambient and on-board temperatures would cause severe wilting and loss of a significant part of the theme of the event- an effective event air conditioning hire system was required.
The client required a temperature of 15 Degrees to maintain the foliage for 24hrs, followed by 22 degrees for the main event.
An internal shot of the fuselage. This was a really interesting structure to work with, and one, that lent itself to using the air sock that can be seen
The 747 plane. The AHU and chiller were located outside on the ground and then air was ducted into the fuselage.
ACR recommended fitting an ACR 160.120 AHU and a 100kw chiller to provide chilled air to an 300mm air sock distribution system.
Air sock was fitted to give low noise air distribution. Also, neatly installed in the roof area, it didn’t impinge on the overall floor space available.
A 50kw water chiller was supplied with an ACR 160.120 ahu. The chiller cools water which is passed through the AHU. This in turn cools the air which is passed though it.
Flexible air ductwork was used to connect the air handling unit to the air-sock distribution system.
This event air conditioning project was a complete success with all requirements being met.
An interesting fact; the plane was never painted because this would add 1 1/2 tons to the overall weight. Weight that could be added to the payload…
The plane was last operated by MK Airlines (Mike Kruger) before the company went into liquidation. This plane was flown into the airport and abandoned where it stands today!

This HVAC project came about as a result of the test events held prior to the Olympics. Worryingly, it was found that insufficient space was available for the opening ceremony performers to make up in.
