PROJECT PRODUCTS AND SELECTION CRITERIA The below products listed formed part of this project . These items were selected by consultations with the Service First GP and MSSL teams . MSSL is an international project management company that was contracted to deliver the “ turn-key ” manufacturing facilities for the vehicle manufacturer .
• 2 x 2000kW Trane water-cooled chillers
• 2 x 5000kW Evapco closed-circuit cooling towers
• 10 x Armstrong circulating pumps
• 4 x InfinityFlo make up water pumps
• 1 x Fiorini brazed plate heat exchanger
After the consultation with the client , two different types of chillers were determined to best suit the requirements . One screw type chiller was selected in order to cater for low-to-mid load conditions due to its high efficiency during partial cooling loads . The other selection was a centrifugal-type chiller which will operate when the load requirement is 80 % and higher . This choice formed part of the proposal due to this chiller ’ s high fullload efficiency .
Overall the system would be well suited to all levels of production capacity as manufacturing was ramped up over time .
The high efficiency requirements imposed by client also stood behind the selection of Armstrong circulating pumps . The
