arrier supplied the high-efficiency heat pumps to installer RTS Engineering as part of an urgent response following failure of


the hospital’s existing chiller during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapid response was enabled by Carrier’s policy of maintaining stock of popular models for immediate delivery. The Carrier heat pumps serve three wards and 112 en-suite bedrooms in the hospital’s three- storey Jubilee Building. The bedrooms are designed to give patients greater control over their immediate environment, including temperature, lighting and privacy, to empower them and help support a healing environment. Ventilation and cooling are also critical to prevent overheating of clinical areas where ventilators are in use and hospital staff wear personal protective equipment. The heat pumps were commissioned by Carrier Commercial Service with the installation supported by a Carrier BluEdge Digital service agreement. BluEdge Digital connects customers’ equipment to Carrier’s cloud-based IoT platform, providing them with advanced analytics and actionable insights to visualize, advise and optimize machine health and life cycle outcomes.
