The fully rounded business solution, plus ease of access to available funding is why PrimePac decided to place the order with ICS Cool Energy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Project highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"c-bullet-list\">\n<li>New \u2018A\u2019 rated Aptus chiller plus a free cooling unit, offering low noise operation<\/li>\n<li>Local office 24\/7 breakdown service.<\/li>\n<li>Service maintenance contract<\/li>\n<li>A green light in the factory shows when the free cooling is working<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Result<\/h2>\n<p>In the first full year of operation at PrimePac, the free cooling has operated for over 4,600 hours, representing 55% of the total cooling system\u2019s working hours. It provides energy savings as well as a reduction in compressor operating hours which helps to prolong the life of the chiller.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat was really helpful for us as a business is the practical attention to all the details including the Carbon Trust NI funding.
