Cooling system enhancement

Cooling system enhancement can add capacity to the existing equipment and possibly reduce noise levels as well. Alternatively, existing cooling fan capacity can be provided at significantly lower noise levels.

The demands placed on a cooling system often change over time, and its capability may no longer match today's requirements either in terms of capacity and/or the noise it generates whilst in operation.

Where the production capacity has increased, or needs to be increased, the cooling system may form a bottleneck.

A fan replacement offers the following advantages over a system extension:

Efficiency improvements;

Capacity can be quickly and easily increased.
No extra space is required.
There is no need to shut down the complete cooling system. Cell-by-cell replacement means continuous operation can be maintained.
Limited investment is required.
Staged implementation is possible, to test the results in practice before proceeding with a full scale investment with a clear return.

Noise reduction;

Noise is reduced at source through the use of super-low noise or ultra-low noise cooling fans.
Noise reductions of up to 20dB(A) can be achieved without any reduction in the cooling performance.
On some occasions, noise reduction can be combined with an increase in performance.
