Newsome Delivers Critical Temperature and Humidity Control for Global Communications Leader
At Newsome, we pride ourselves on delivering bespoke climate control solutions to meet the most demanding operational challenges. Recently, we were called upon by a global leader in submarine communications technology to support a critical five-year maintenance project at their facility. With stringent environmental requirements and a full power shutdown scheduled, the client needed a reliable partner to ensure uninterrupted temperature and humidity control.
Supporting Vital Global Communications Infrastructure
As a leader in designing and manufacturing advanced undersea cable systems, our client plays a pivotal role in enabling high-capacity data transmission across oceans. Their facility houses sensitive equipment and materials that demand precise environmental control. When their planned maintenance required disconnecting the building’s power supply for an entire week, they turned to Newsome to provide a robust and dependable temporary climate control solution.
Newsome’s Tailored Solution
Understanding the high stakes of this project, we worked closely with the client to design a comprehensive package that could maintain the facility’s strict environmental parameters: a temperature range of 21°C to 24°C and relative humidity levels between 30% and 50%. Our solution included:
1 x 150 AHU (Air Handling Unit): This high-capacity unit maintained stable airflow and precise temperature control.
1 x 135 kW Chiller: Integrated with the Air Handling Unit, the chiller provided consistent cooling to counteract ambient heat and maintain optimal conditions.
1 x 100 kW Oil Boiler: To balance cooling and prevent temperature drops, the oil boiler delivered reliable heating as required.
1 x RL 71 Dehumidifier: This industrial dehumidifier hire ensured consistent humidity control, monitored in real time by a return sensor.
1 x 300 kVA Generator: With power disconnected, our generator ensured uninterrupted operation of all equipment for the duration of the project.
Flexible Ducting: Customised ducting facilitated the even distribution of conditioned air throughout the facility.
Our team ensured seamless installation and integration of the equipment, leveraging existing infrastructure to expedite setup. To safeguard the integrity of the stored materials and ensure continuous operation, we implemented advanced control and monitoring systems. Temperature adjustments were dynamically managed via water-side control on the Air Handling Unit (AHU), responding to real-time feedback from internal space sensors. Humidity levels were precisely regulated using the dehumidifier’s return sensor, maintaining the strict 30% to 50% range.
Our team remained on hand throughout the project, conducting regular checks to confirm that all equipment operated at peak efficiency and responding proactively to any potential fluctuations.
The success of this project highlights Newsome’s capability to deliver under pressure. Our solution maintained the client’s environmental conditions throughout the week-long shutdown, safeguarding product integrity and ensuring uninterrupted operations. With reliable power from our generator and precision control of temperature and humidity, the client conducted their critical maintenance without incident. Our dedication to innovation, precision, and client satisfaction ensures that we deliver results, no matter the challenge. Whether you require short-term chiller hire or a fully customised package, Newsome is your trusted partner for temperature and humidity control.
