Project: Hospital Replaces Air Conditioners
Solution: Temporary Cooling System Using High Static Air Handler and Chiller.
In the heat of the summer, a hospital found itself needing to replace an existing air conditioning system.
Due to the critical nature of a hospital, continuing normal operations without temperature control is not an
option. The contractor on the project called in Carrier Rental Systems (CRS) to review the situation.
By that evening, CRS's equipment was in the courtyard and ready for installation.
Project details:
The hospital needed a minimum of 16,000 cfm air movement. With that information, CRS designed a system utilizing
a 100 ton chiller with a 20,000 CFM AHU, pump and I-Line panel. Another concern for the hospital and contractor
was the actual placement of the portable equipment. The design of the building limited where the equipment could
be placed. At the request of the of the hospital, CRS took on the project management of a crane and set up.
The 14,000 lb. chiller would have to be lifted up and over 145 feet into a courtyard adjacent to the old roof
mounted ac unit. The CRS technical support team worked with the sheet metal contractor to make caps and collars
to accommodate the flex duct.
The hospital was able to continue its normal operation and the contractor could continue his demolition seamlessly.
