Case Studies > Nuclear Industry Cooling 
Overview 
A large UK blue chip company had an unusual requirement for a triple process cooling system, one of them requiring chilled water. All possible placement locations at site were investigated by the client but proved unsuitable. TES engineer’s pre designed a system to establish possible dimensions and visited site to establish a satisfactory placement area.  
 
The Solution 
The site visit demanded lateral thinking and a rooftop space was found. However weight loadings proved a restriction! Therefore a very long and wide but shallow base was constructed in 316 Stainless to form dual bulk coolant buffer tanks. Using these tanks as a stable base, two multi fan half “V” water to air heat exchangers and a fully fitted plant / control room with built in chiller were constructed to form an extremely robust and effective system. 
 
Outcome 
The system was constructed and tested at the factory and delivered to site as a one part “drop in” module. Being simply lifted to the roof and connected. 
General Features: 
Fully automatic operation. 
Dual 1500 litre buffer tanks. 
Integrated GRP control room. Insulated, heated, ventilated and with comfort floor. 
Dual water to air heat exchangers with long life heat transfer fins. 
Chiller heat rejected via a flow through duct. 
Chiller, dual process pumps and full controls for all three systems built in to plant room. 
Each system totally non ferrous.
