major UK producer of
yogurt and milk-based
drinks turned to Andrews
Chiller Hire to help maintain
correct temperature in their packaging,
storage and distribution areas when
ambient temperature started to
fl uctuate. Changes in temperature
happen for a variety of reasons, a
signifi cant increase in productivity,
change in environmental conditions or
an in-plant system becomes unreliable.
Whatever the situation, failure to
maintain a constant 5oC would prove a
fi nancial disaster – for safety reasons
A
product would be destroyed and with
no customer deliveries, reputations are
at stake.
With a team of experienced engineer
working out of more than 25 depots
strategically placed around the UK
Andrews Chiller Hire can respond very
quickly. The Company has established
a reputation for delivering solutions to
chilling problems in under a targeted
4hr period. It is this rapid response
that continually saves customers’
reputations along with many millions of
pound in lost revenue.
For the yogurt
and milk based
drinks company
a 100kW chiller
and a 150kW
air handling
unit (AHU) was
despatched
to site from
the Andrews
Heathrow depot
and installed
with 24in ducting
feeding into the
building.
On one occasion
this Chiller/
AHU set-up was
106
PECM Issue 18
used to recirculate chilled air from
the packaging area to boost existing
cooling and assist with temperature
reduction. On another emergency
situation the identical arrangement was
deployed to prevent temperature in
the storage and distribution areas from
exceeding safe limits.
In many installations carried out
by Andrews Chiller Hire it is the air
handlers that act as the recirculating
systems, drawing air from a room,
routing to the chiller and returning
the air at a much lower temperature.
The skills of Andrews’ engineering
teams come in to play in calculating
and matching chiller power rating
with properly sized air handling units
to deliver and achieve the constant,
required low temperature.
