“The Problem” – Watkins chiller hire were contacted by the client to provide a mobile UPS system complete with Chiller and air handling unit and containers to house the UPS systems, The client was supplying the end user with temporary UPS equipment in the containers that needed to be kept secure but mobile and operational through the hire period.

“The Solution” – The client contacted many suppliers but none could offer a complete package, one could supply the air conditioning. Watkins Hire were able supply all of the equipment, carry out all of the electrical works, supply and modify the containers to the clients exacting specifications. Watkins Chiller Hire supplied a complete package of equipment to include a pair of containers complete with electrical installation and air conditioning. The Air conditioning plant consisted of a pair of KwikCHILL 80 Trane Aquastream 2 air cooled liquid chillers and eight off KwikCHILL 20kw fan coils. Also Watkins Hire were the only contractor that could deliver the equipment to site in the time scale allowed in order for the project to run on schedule.

Specialist Hire Manager Chris Easterlow said – “It was evident from our first meeting with the client that this project was not going to be an ordinary installation, the requirements that the client needed were beyond the specifications of a normal data centre air conditioning application.

Watkins Hire Ltd supplied two 30-foot containers installed with electrics and modified to accept services and eight off 20kw fan coils providing close control air conditioning.

Additional Data Centre Cooling Capacity

Additional data centre cooling capacity is often temporarily required for seasonal heat waves and business peaks: a rental chiller provides cost-effective additional data centre cooling.
