Law School Faced Summer Challenge Using a Temporary Chiller
Heading into the summer class season, the prestigious school found themselves without a chiller system. School officials contacted On Site Energy for help.
- (1888PressRelease) July 21, 2012 - Spring is a time for new beginnings, but for a New York law school, the balmy weather brought crisis to their door. Heading into the summer class season, the prestigious school found themselves without a chiller system. School officials contacted On Site Energy for help. The team of professionals from this comprehensive portable energy solution firm found the building offered some distinctive challenges.
The Obstacles
Initially, the school thought they would require a short-term rental chiller while repairs were in process. After evaluation of the damaged system, the problems grew. The New York law school would need a temporary cooling rental all summer until a replacement unit was ready.
On Site Energy faced some obstacles when they went to rescue the New York law school's summer classes armed with a 170 ton chiller rental. Many New York buildings only offer 208 volt, 3-phase power. A portable chiller large enough to keep this building cool requires 480 volt, 3-phase power.
The Solution
On Site Energy is a full-service power & temperature control rental company. They were able to set up the 170 ton temporary chiller using a standalone transformer rental. The job of the transformer is to take the power from the building and convert it into useable energy. On Site also offers a generator in situations where the building power is not adaptable or adequate.
The setup required two 6" hoses and 16 cables to cross the city sidewalk, and stay there for the summer. The On Site Energy team put two sidewalk bridges in place to keep the area safe. The bridge system keeps power cable and hoses off the sidewalk so they were out of the way. Students and pedestrians would still be able to use the path around the building.
