A company in the private sector recently contacted Loue Froid | HVAC Rentals, temperature control expert, for a very critical project to be executed. It was led by our representative Simon Lacroix, requiring special attention for the maintenance of a specific temperature. It took place during the end of winter, a season that’s weather can be unpredictable. To ensure the viable use of the client’s machinery parts that are at high-cost value, it was imperative that nothing failed. The client’s need was to keep the parts at temperatures lower than -20°C until they were to be installed. The plan used 26 refrigerated container units, along with 3 generator units, the generators each at 330kVA capacity. The challenge was to maintain the -20°C temperature using refrigerated containers and be ready with a backup plan in the event a refrigerated container was to fail, as this would result in the client’s expensive machinery parts being unusable. The solution for executing this plan was to have the 3 generators feeding power to the containers, by using distribution panels that then feed each of the 26 units. The project’s duration lasted 2 weeks with a 3-day installation time.
The project employed 26 refrigerated containers and 3 generators, each at 330kVA capacity, to ensure precise temperature control at -20°C for valuable machinery parts. This equipment combination showcased an effective solution for maintaining optimal conditions during the unpredictable end-of-winter season.
The primary challenge revolved around the need to consistently maintain temperatures below -20°C for critical machinery parts during the unpredictable end-of-winter season. This obstacle was mitigated by deploying 26 refrigerated containers and 3 generators, strategically distributing power through panels to ensure continuous and reliable temperature control. The solution addressed the risk of equipment failure and potential damage to high-value machinery parts, highlighting the effectiveness of the implemented approach.
