Carrier is supplying bespoke high performance, higheciency chillers for London’s Elizabeth Line project to meet its cooling needs and the stringent fire safety materials standards required for use underground.
INSTALLATION NEWS SPONSORED BY Carrier supplies bespoke chillers for Elizabeth Line
Fifteen customised Carrier AquaSnap air- cooled liquid chillers with Greenspeed Intelligence will provide resilient, reliable cooling for new Elizabeth Line stations at Tottenham Court Road, Paddington, Woolwich and Farringdon.
Carrier’s UK team worked closely with its chiller research and development centre in Montluel, France, to develop a solution that met the strict fire prevention requirements for the project, due to its underground location.
The bespoke chillers are equipped with zero halogen, low-smoke insulation and cables, and finished with specialist paint, all formulated to emit very limited smoke and/or fumes when exposed to heat or flame. The changes to the standard factory specification required detailed research on alternative components and their application. For example, the requirement
for zero halogen, low-smoke cables required a completely new chiller wiring loom. Matthew Maleki, Carrier Product Manager who headed the compliance project, said: “The specification was challenging and there were no standard factory-produced chillers available that were compliant. Carrier’s technology specialists were very innovative, and we worked closely with them to develop a custom-made chiller that met all of the requirements, and provides efficient and reliable cooling with proven Carrier technology.”
Carrier’s AquaSnap 30RB chiller is based on highly-reliable rotary scroll compressors running on refrigerant R-410A, a quiet- running AeroAcoustic fan system, and high-efficiency microchannel condenser coil technology.

CP partners with Russian lighng firm to halve warehouse energy use
DEUS LLC and CP Electronics worked with the X5 Retail Group at its 30,000sq m distribution centre, providing a lighting system that was fully compatible with DEUS’ own DALI control system.
CP Electronics has extensive experience in providing bespoke solutions to lighting Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Nikita Betyaev, Business Development Director and co-founder of DEUS LLC, explains how the partnership began: “We started working with CP Electronics in 2017 as we were particularly impressed with the standard 5 year warranty of CP’s products. We also found the flexibility of products like DALI Network (DNET1) to be particularly beneficial.”
uWarehouse energy costs have been halved with help from CP Electronics’ products and experse.
The main lighting of the warehouse comprised 1,500 luminaires equipped with DALI drivers. DEUS LLC utilised its own ME6 DALI control system, which included 32
control routers and 156 EBDHS-DNET1 combined lighting and presence detectors, provided by CP Electronics.
The X5 Retail Group required not just a centralised lighting control system, but a guarantee of the possibility to quickly select the necessary scenarios for managing the facility and its zones.
Simon Clarke, OEM Sales Manager at CP Electronics, explains why the choice to use DNET1 was particularly useful to this project: “DNET1 is a fully integrated slave device that allowed DEUS LLC to integrate sensors into its system. DEUS already supports all DNET1 detectors in its cloud software and controllers firmware. DNET1 has allowed for easy and efficient controls that saved the end user a significant amount of energy and money.”

Trago Mills’ new retail park in Merthyr Tydfil, turned to Nortek Global HVAC’s Reznor brand to provide heang in the shape of 83 modulang NorRayVac burners.
A warm welcome for shoppers thanks to Reznor
Trago Mills is a South West independent UK retailer, operating through three locations in Liskeard, Falmouth and Newton Abbot. Now, due to the success of these retail parks, the company decided to build a fourth development in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.
The £40m development will provide 200,000sq m of retail therapy spanning over the equivalent of five football pitches. The project will include leisure facilities, a café and even a petrol station.
The new scheme is expected to create 400 jobs for the area and be a major boost for the town and local economy.
Nortek Global HVAC through its Reznor brand worked with the project team to deliver the ideal heating solution for the main retail section, which comprises five distinct areas of the project.
In total, 83 modulating Nor- Ray-Vac burners will cover the five retail areas of the complex suspended at approximately five metres above finished floor level and will provide blanket heat coverage of each area, eliminating any cold spots. The superstore opened in April 2018.

The new substation is located near Immingham in North East Lincolnshire and has been constructed for Ørsted A/S with Balfour Beatty the principal contractor on the project. The wind farm will provide enough electricity to power more than 800,000 UK homes.
uBig Foot Technical worked with Balfour Beay on a soluon which combined maintenance plaorms with plant and duct support.
The substation project included the construction of core buildings and compounds by Balfour Beatty. The flat roof of the substation was single ply PVC membrane which posed a challenge for locating chillers and safe access on the roofs. Traditionally, penetrative supports are used for chiller and safe access installations on flat roofs but it was feared this would damage the roof while penetrations in the single ply membrane would risk both potential leaks and thermal bridging. Since the roof could not be penetrated without the risk of waterproofing issues, Balfour Beatty specified Big Foot’s non-penetrative supports.
36 BUILDING SERVICES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER JULY 2018
Big Foot Technical worked with contractors Balfour Beatty to design a solution which combined the maintenance platforms with plant and duct support. A survey of the empty roof space was undertaken to ensure the massive structure would fit.
Due to space restrictions, some of the walkways had to be cantilevered off the edge of the building and so calculations were done to use the correct amount of ballast, ensuring that the walkways were safe for contractors carrying all the tools and equipment needed to service the plant. Detailed drawings were provided along with all the technical data to back up the designs and, due to the complexity of the install, Site Engineer Nathan Wood attended for the first day of installation.
