The Challenge<\/h2>\n

A clever new cooling system has been installed at world- renowned Sheffield University by ICS Cool Energy and electrical contractors Rotary Yorkshire. It integrates with the existing ground source heat pump and BEMS (building energy management system) to cool four buildings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Solution<\/h2>\n

Sheffield University \u2013 one of the world\u2019s top 100 – had a demanding brief when it extended its Design and Prototyping Test Centre (DPTC) which required the use of its existing ground source system and 11,000 litre buffer vessel to supply water at approx. 7\u00b0C for the whole site, integrating with the BEMS.<\/p>\n

The four buildings needed a capacity boost to provide effective year-round cooling, and the solution was designed by ICS Cool Energy with contractor Rotary Yorkshire, working with a local design consultancy.<\/p>\n

The new chiller starts work when the ground source system reaches its maximum capacity, cooling the large thermal store back to temperature for the continued supply of 7\u00b0C water for the site.<\/p>\n
