Case Study
Dorchester Hotel – 475 kW Chiller Hire
Overview
Client: Nationwide Building Services Contractor
Project Overview: 80 kW Chiller Hire for MRI Scanner Cooling
The prestigious Dorchester Hotel required immediate support when one of its two 450 kW chillers experienced a failure. Given the importance of maintaining optimal climate conditions for guest comfort, a temporary chiller hire solution was urgently needed to ensure uninterrupted cooling throughout the hotel. Newsome was brought on board by the client, a well-established building services contractor, to provide a swift and effective solution.
Newsome’s Solution
In response to this critical requirement, we supplied our high-capacity NR-475 chiller, a robust and reliable unit ideally suited for temporary cooling in demanding environments like the Dorchester Hotel. The NR-475 chiller was provided with 4” Bauer hoses and 240mm lugged cables, ensuring efficient installation and seamless integration into the hotel’s existing cooling system.
Due to access, safety, and space constraints at the hotel, the installation presented unique challenges. Collaborating closely with our client, we developed a tailored approach that would fit these restrictions without compromising performance. The client provided a specially designed frame to accommodate our chiller, allowing it to be securely placed in the limited space available.
Key Benefits
Reliable Cooling: Our NR-475 chiller provided sufficient capacity to meet the hotel’s cooling demands, maintaining comfortable conditions for guests despite the failure of one of the primary chillers.
Customised Installation: Working in tandem with our client, we adapted the setup to suit the site’s limitations, ensuring a safe and stable installation.
