Both these situations often rely on the efficiency and effectiveness of on-site air cooled fluid chillers – cooling and recirculating colder water for control of the temperature.

Faced with increased work load these chillers may falter, becoming ineffective; long-term off line or under-performing can have serious consequences for any company – staff loosing concentration, production slowing and ultimately stopped – potential outcomes include incorrect data entry due to tiredness, late delivery possible accompanied with penalties, orders cancelled and lost reputation.
When one aviation component manufacturer experienced a sudden drop in the weather’s temperature down to minus 2oC it could have had a devastating consequence without the intervention of Andrews Chiller Hire, part of the Andrews Sykes Group.
The aviation production company requires a constant supply of regulated water temperature within the factory for process cooling, water conditions governed by an externally mounted chiller plant. Any fault or underperformance of the chiller would cause serious production problems and issues with product quality.
On one particular winter’s morning when icy cold weather hit Britain the coils in the external chiller froze since the unit did not have any form of protection, and no Glycol in the system. Blocked pipework was catastrophic, production drew to a stop, a fast temporary solution was required until a new, properly equipped chiller for all weather conditions could be sourced and installed.
The search for a chiller hire company began. With more than 25 national depots strategically located, a promised response in under 4hrs and experienced engineering staff able to appreciate industrial applications, Andrews Chiller Hire seemed to be the ideal organisations. Telephone call made, Andrews Chiller Hire despatched a 30kW air cooled fluid chiller and an installation team to connect the chiller to the onsite Heat Exchanger.
Within hours the factory production processed returned to normality, the Andrews chiller suitably equipped with Glycol in the system enabling it to operate reliable even at low temperature as experienced by the aviation component manufacturer.
