The first of four York ammonia chillers has been delivered to London Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5.
The huge 6.6mW chiller, which will provide chilled water to meet the air conditioning needs of the terminal buildings, had to be delivered in three sections, then winched into the building and assembled inside the T5 Energy Centre.
All four chillers utilise R717 ammonia refrigerant, a specific requirement of the T5 air conditioning design team, who were looking for the optimum in energy efficient, environmentally-friendly cooling systems.
York’s expertise in the design, manufacture and factory testing of high capacity ammonia chillers, along with its ability to provide local engineering and service support, were key factors in its successful bid for this £2.7m installation, the company claim.

There is an obvious need for the industry to be more energy efficient and pay more attention to the ways in which energy is both used and wasted. Do you think we have the products on the market to meet our needs?
