New Andrews Heat Pump keeps you cool
Specialist and extremely successful hire company, Andrews Chiller Hire, has modified the proven technology of its highly efficient chillers to create a new versatile heat pump range. This now enables the company to hire out equipment designed to maintain reasonably constant, comfortable ambient temperatures in temporary structures such as traditional marques as well as existing buildings with ineffective temperature control systems.
The new Andrews Chiller heat-pump hire service will have major benefits for event planners, exhibition organisers, wedding and party venues where additional temporary buildings are erected. With weather forecasters predicting summer temperatures soaring and staying well into the mid-seventies many temporary structures will struggle to keep their guests cool.
Over-heated guests may show signs of heat exhaustion (a warning that your body can no longer keep itself cool), heat edema (swelling of the ankles/feet when you get hot) and heat syncope (sudden dizziness that may come on when you are active in the heat). Add only a small amount of alcohol into the mix of hot venues and peoples’ behaviour changes − feeling nauseous, confused, becoming grouchy and argumentative, acting strangely or staggering.
Event planners want their guest’s to enjoy their day, have a memorable time and if it is business they do not want guests getting hot under the collar and leave meetings and functions early.
The simple, short-term solution for maintaining that ideal ambient temperature is the hire of the new Andrews Heat Pump. This professional company will advise on requirements, deliver and install.
Andrews Chiller Hire, part of the Andrews Sykes group, is a dynamic force within the chiller hire business and is renowned for its exceptional service; from 35 nationwide depots it is able to respond extremely quickly, providing 24hr/365 day support right across the UK. Its’ chiller hire solutions which are all engineered specifically to create a short-term solution appear right across all business sectors, from industrial processing to office air conditioning.
The venture into heat-pump hire is a nature progression and the first Andrews Heat Pump to be launched is based around the very successful 200kW fluid chiller. This is a robust, powerful and easily portable, skid mounted unit able to deliver 200 kW (682,400 Btu) whether in the heat or chill mode.
The new purpose-designed heat-pump chillers have a Reversing or 3 way valve fitted. This valve reverses the flow of refrigerant through the unit, the equipment role of the chiller being reversed; the evaporator becomes the condenser and the condenser becomes the evaporator.
Based on venue size, construction and location Andrews Chiller Hire will supply single or multi units to manage the ambient temperature inside a venue.
Since the new Andrews Heat Pump is programmed to automatically switch operating cycles from heat to chill mode depending on prevailing temperatures the units are not only ideal for temporary structures they are also the heat pump hire solution for any large indoor space which has no heating or air conditioning system.
