Temporary chilled store
Published: 16 October, 2014
The combination of an Andrew’s chiller and a number of air handling units has reportedly proved to be the most viable options for creating a temporary chilled storage environment in a new warehouse for a specialist UK chocolate manufacturer.
This application called upon the skills of the Specialist Hire Division of ANDREWS SYKES to supply and install a totally integrated temporary cooling system. Engineers from Andrews Sykes Specialist Hire team calculated that to achieve the required low temperature would require two 550kW chillers feeding eight 150kW air handling units. Each of the AHU is capable of delivering up to 20,160m3/h and they were strategically positioned to afford optimum air flow around the warehouse.
During installation engineers from the Specialist Hire Division sited the chiller and 2 x 800kVA generators as close as possible to the warehouse without restricting warehouse access and all internal pipework was specifically positioned to avoid disruption to warehouse staff as they went about their daily routine.

Weger GmbH reports it has been selling its ranges of air handling units in the UK for the last 11 years, Thermal Technology (Sales) Ltd formally handled sales but has now been acquired by a new company, WEGER AIR SOLUTIONS UK LTD, with the aim of expanding sales.
WEGER AIR SOLUTIONS UK says its ‘RFM’ range of ventilation heat recovery units with integral heat pumps offers designers a unique solution to an age old problem. There are six sizes in the range with air flow rates of 0.25 mᶟ/s to 1.11 mᶟ/s . Each unit consists of supply and exhaust air fans, a plate recuperator for air to air heat recovery and a heat pump refrigeration system, using a scroll hermetic compressor (R410A) with evaporator and condenser coils.
WEGER AIR SOLUTIONS UK reports it has expanded its product range with the introduction of 5 models of heat pump to air heat recovery units. All of the units are ‘stand alone’ and only need electrical power, so are said to be ideal for applications where hot water, chilled water and gas are not available.
