Case Studies - Cooling the Warehouse
Net A Porter.com, the on-line high end fashion chain opened their third Warehouse in Charlton next to the Millennium dome, and chose EcoCooling to provide the cooling.
14 roof mounted EcoCoolers have been installed
along with 8 extraction units to provide cool air
both above and below the mezzanine floor.
The coolers are controlled automatically with
individual thermostatically controlled wall
mounted panels; these are interlinked into the fire
alarm system and existing BMS system to provide
a simple safe and secure system. The
temperature in the warehouse is now always
below 23C even on the hottest days, providing
comfortable working conditions all year round
Compared to a traditional refrigeration system the estimated energy savings are expected to be around 90%. A single EcoCooler, rated at 35Kw, can show carbon savings of up to 10,000kg per year and cost less than 15p per hour to run.
