A screw compressor failure in a heatwave, temporary cooling online the same day, and a full compressor rebuild in six days with infection control rules followed throughout.
Emergency response and compressor rebuild on a water-cooled screw chiller serving patient care areas at a downtown Toronto hospital, with temporary cooling staged within hours.
The Challenge
A screw compressor seized during a July heatwave, taking out half the chilled water capacity for patient care areas. The hospital needed temporary cooling within hours and a permanent fix within days.
Our Approach
Results
"They had temporary cooling running the same afternoon and the rebuild was done in under a week. Their crew followed every one of our infection control rules."
