College compatibility

College compatibility

Carrier Solutions UK has provided a rapid HVAC solution for Chichester College, where an ageing chiller system had reached the end of its operational life.

Working alongside the installing contractor, Rossair, the team delivered a fast-turnaround replacement with the Toshiba Universal Smart X (USX). With minimal disruption to term-time operations a priority, Carrier Solutions UK was able to supply the required USX unit from stock within 48 hours, a significant advantage compared with typical lead times of eight to ten weeks for equipment of this capacity.

The installation required a 140 kW capacity unit to meet the demands of the college’s E Block. Key advantages included energy efficiency, quiet operation, compatibility with existing pumps, and seamless integration with the building management system (BMS). In addition, due to the campus’s coastal location, the system received an anti-corrosion treatment from specialist contractor Bronz-Glow UK to ensure long-term durability.
