Reducing plant temperature 10° is a breeze
June 1st 2008 By specifying six Breezair TBA
coolers (from Seeley International
Europe), CoSaf Environments has
reduced temperatures in JCB
Tranmissions'Wrexham gearbox
plant by over 10°C.
The gearbox plant is a highdensity
230,000ft2 area, which
operates a 24/7 shift system. Part of
the factory area has a low-level
roof, which traps warm air and
when combined with heat
generated from the machines,
temperatures reach over 33°C in
summer.The solution had to
provide frequent air changes as
well as cooling.
Six Breezair TBA air coolers were
installed on the roof above the low
roofed section of the
gearbox plant, with
cool air being
distributed via
ductwork to air
diffusers and then
into the heataffected
areas to
provide temperature
relief. Barry Stevens,
site services
manager, is now in discussion with
CoSaf Environments about
installing heating and cooling into
the other part of the gearbox plant.
"Breezair has enabled us to
provide very effective cooling for
our employees without using
equipment with polluting HCFC
gases, using 80% less energy than if
we had installed refrigerative air
conditioning."
The Breezair coolers are groupcontrolled
by a single Breezair
Industrial Wall Control (IWC). More articles from Seeley International Ltd: |
