Newsome Provides Emergency Cooling Solution for the Dorchester Hotel
At Newsome, we take pride in our ability to respond swiftly and effectively when critical climate control issues arise. Recently, we were called upon to provide emergency cooling support for the prestigious Dorchester Hotel in Mayfair, London. When one of the hotel’s two 450 kW chillers unexpectedly failed, there was an urgent need to maintain optimal indoor conditions for the comfort of their distinguished guests.
The Dorchester Hotel is synonymous with luxury, elegance, and world-class service. Known for welcoming royalty, celebrities, and business leaders, the hotel’s reputation for excellence extends to every aspect of its operations, including climate control. The sudden failure of a primary chiller created a pressing challenge, as maintaining the hotel’s high standards required immediate action to ensure uninterrupted cooling.
Newsome was brought on board by a leading building services contractor to provide a temporary chiller solution. Utilising our expertise in high-capacity cooling systems, we delivered an NR-475 chiller, a robust unit capable of meeting the hotel’s cooling demands.
The installation presented unique challenges due to the site’s access and space constraints. Collaborating closely with the contractor, we developed a tailored approach that included the use of a specially designed frame to securely position the chiller within the available space. Our team worked efficiently to integrate the chiller into the existing system, using 4” Bauer hoses and 240mm lugged cables for a seamless connection.
Our engineers acted quickly to ensure the NR-475 chiller was delivered and installed without delay. This rapid response allowed the hotel to maintain consistent climate control, safeguarding guest comfort and protecting its reputation as one of London’s most esteemed luxury destinations.
The successful deployment of the temporary chiller ensured that the Dorchester Hotel could continue to provide the unparalleled experience its guests expect. The collaboration between Newsome and the building services contractor was pivotal in overcoming the site’s logistical challenges and delivering a solution that met the hotel’s exacting standards.
The Dorchester’s dedication to operational excellence mirrors our own commitment to providing reliable and efficient climate control solutions. Supporting such an iconic venue was a privilege, and we are proud to have played a role in ensuring its continued success during a critical moment.
This project highlights Newsome’s expertise in delivering tailored climate control and HVAC Systems under challenging conditions. Our ability to respond swiftly and adapt to unique site requirements demonstrates why clients trust Newsome for their temporary cooling needs.
