June 2014 - Andrews Sykes

Beverage factory in need of Andrews Air Conditioning

Posted Date 30/06/2014

Workshops are generally filled with machinery and production lines which all tend to heat up the enclosed space. When the temperature reaches unbearable levels it can be difficult for staff to remain concentrated.

An on–going client from Andrews was having trouble keeping their factory space cool. They requested various standard evaporative units but due to the size of the factory, the Andrews Air Conditioning specialist recommended the cyclone units instead. We delivered and installed four cyclone units within 4 hours of the initial call, placing them strategically to ensure maximum efficiency. These units are often used where access to the outside is difficult or impractical. They created a fresh breeze cooling effect and kept the working staff comfortable.

Universities often contact Andrews Sykes when it comes to overheated offices or classrooms. When a well-known university contacted our specialist Air Conditioning Hire division concerning a lecture hall for their exam weeks, we were on site immediately.

The lecture hall can contain up to 50 students per exam which meant that it overheated very easily. When a room is too hot it can be stressful for the student sitting the exam. Andrews Air Conditioning provided five Polar Wind units which were delivered and installed within a three hour timeframe. The units were placed strategically throughout the hall to ensure a cool ambient throughout. The Polar Wind has a fully automatic thermostat and a remote control. It can be positioned to direct a welcoming breeze of cool air anywhere.

Hospital in Bristol requires temporary cooling

Posted Date 23/06/2014

When a hospital in the centre of Bristol started getting too hot, Andrews Air Conditioning were approached and asked to provide a short-term solution. An X-Ray room in the children’s ward had become excessively warm while undergoing a major refurbishment, meaning a temporary cooling system was urgently required.

Following the initial enquiry, we sent an engineer to the infirmary to conduct a site survey, in order to establish which equipment would be most suitable. It was decided that two PAC 22 units would be deployed on the premises, accompanied by two heat exchangers. These powerful water-cooled air conditioners are safe and run on a standard power supply, making them ideal for medical facilities and similar environments.

Andrews Air Conditioning provide cooling for car showroom

Posted Date 20/06/2014

Showrooms tend to have large areas of glazing and low-pitch ceilings. Together these features encourage heat increase on sunny days, even while the temperature outside is not extreme.

A luxury car dealer in Cheshire was affected by the warm weather conditions causing their showroom to overheat and creating discomfort for their clients. They promptly contacted Andrews Sykes to obtain the perfect solution. Due to the type of area, Andrews Air Conditioning sent in a local specialist for a full site survey, to establish the correct equipment on site. We provided 5 Kool Cube evaporative coolers and one of our Polar range units for the offices upstairs. These units were placed strategically around the building to create the perfect environment for their staff and customers.

Andrews Air Conditioning helps keep Londoners cool

Posted Date 13/06/2014

With temperatures across the capital exceeding 25°C in recent days, we at Andrews Air Conditioning took the opportunity to hand out paper fans to tourists and commuters during a period of particularly intense heat.

By using Charing Cross railway station in central London as a focal point, staff were able to target large volumes of footfall and provide light cooling relief to those who wanted it.

In fact, the demand for our fans was so high that we ended up giving away a whole vanload in just one morning – equating to 6,500 fans in total! The response to our presence was extremely well-received, with people turning to social network sites to express thanks via messages and pictures.

Facilities Management company seeks urgent air conditioning

Posted Date 13/06/2014

When a leading Facilities Management firm required immediate cooling for an office complex, they contacted Andrews Air Conditioning regarding a solution. The company’s client had already hired exhaust tube units from another contractor, but these were ineffective because of the building’s design. They had been ducted into the suspended ceiling but due to a lack of space, hot air kept returning downwards.

It was decided that split type units would therefore be needed instead, so that hot air could be directed outside. The customer sought alternative equipment immediately, with staff working within the office facing exposure to excessively warm temperatures.
