Olympic standard
Carrier Commercial HVAC has completed a chiller replacement project at one of London’s most extraordinary venues, the ArcelorMittal Orbit in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford.
Designed by sculptor Sir Anish Kapoor and engineer Cecil Balmond, the ArcelorMittal Orbit is one of the most striking and enduring visual legacies of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is the UK’s tallest sculpture and offers a 360° view of London at the summit.
The project involved replacing an inefficient chiller that had come to the end of its life with a Carrier AquaSnap 30RB 160R air-cooled liquid chiller, with scroll compressor, plus an added De-Superheater heat recovery option. The 30RB chiller also has refrigerant leak detector, compressor soft starter, super enviro-shield anti-corrosion protection and water exchanger frost protection.
Carrier was commissioned by ParkServe, on behalf of London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), to undertake the project and enlisted the support of local contractor L&B Technical Services Ltd to complete the challenging installation.
