Five Star cooling for new Sky Studios.<\/p>\n

BSkyB\u2019s brand new sustainable landmark\u00a0broadcast facility features a revolutionary air\u00a0conditioning system from cooling and heating\u00a0specialist Star Refrigeration.<\/p>\n

BSkyB is a leading broadcaster of sports, movies,\u00a0entertainment and news. The company operates\u00a0the UK\u2019s largest digital pay TV platform from its\u00a0headquarters in Isleworth, London.<\/p>\n

Star has supplied five of its state-of-the-art\u00a0Indigochiller refrigeration plants to provide cooling\u00a0within Sky\u2019s new Sky Studios building. The\u00a0ground-breaking facility will provide TV studios,\u00a0technical and post production space for Sky.<\/p>\n

Five air-cooled Indigochiller units, each with a 1MW\u00a0cooling capacity have been installed on the roof of\u00a0the new building. Each Indigochiller provides\u00a0chilled water, which is then pumped through\u00a0insulated pipework to air handling units (AHUs).\u00a0These AHUs will provide comfort cooling\u00a0throughout the Sky Studios building, as well as some computer server cooling.<\/p>\n

Star Refrigeration Sales Manager Michael Reeve\u00a0says: \u201cA ground-breaking building such as Sky\u00a0Studios required a state-of-the-art chilling system.\u00a0Our Indigochillers have a strong track record at\u00a0BSkyB, with the first installed at Isleworth over six\u00a0years ago. They have proven efficiency benefits,\u00a0are low maintenance by design and highly\u00a0durable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Star has worked in partnership with BSkyB on\u00a0multiple building cooling projects since 2005 and\u00a0has installed 36 Indigochiller units to date.\u00a0Indigochillers are providing a total 18.85MW of\u00a0cooling across fifteen BSkyB buildings, from\u00a0Southampton to Livingston.<\/p>\n

Star\u2019s energy efficient Indigochillers are just part of\u00a0BSkyB\u2019s efforts to ensure Sky Studios helps to\u00a0reduce carbon footprint, minimise environmental\u00a0impact and assist renewable energy generation at\u00a0the Isleworth site.<\/p>\n

Designed for large-scale air conditioning and\u00a0process cooling, Star\u2019s Indigochiller is\u00a0manufactured to ensure maximum efficiency, longterm\u00a0reliability and low life-cycle costs. Each\u00a0Indigochiller now comes with a three-year \u2018no\u00a0quibble\u2019 guarantee covering component reliability,\u00a0efficient performance and leak-tight operation.<\/p>\n

Engineered to have minimal effect on the global\u00a0environment, Star\u2019s Indigochiller has a robust\u00a0design that aims to eliminate refrigerant leakage\u00a0and offer over 20 years service.<\/p>\n

The low charge, high performance Indigochiller\u00a0features a revolutionary Turbocor compressor,\u00a0which is low maintenance by design to ensure\u00a0lifelong trouble-free running. The oil-free\u00a0compressor operates on electromagnetic bearings\u00a0and uses the synthetic refrigerant R134a. The\u00a0system offers reliable performance and requires\u00a0minimal installation, servicing and maintenance.<\/p>\n

Indigochiller is manufactured from the highest\u00a0quality components selected to minimise the risk of\u00a0refrigerant leakage, reduce maintenance costs and\u00a0enhance operating life. Standard features include\u00a0\u2018leak-free\u2019 bellows seal valves, sealed expansion\u00a0valves and welded steel pipework. The air-cooled\u00a0Indigochiller has epoxy coated condenser fins as\u00a0standard to reduce the risk of corrosion damage.<\/p>\n

Available as an air-cooled or water-cooled unit, Indigochiller has capacity options ranging from 250kW to 1,650kW. A robust PLC control system allows the user to monitor refrigerant charge, running conditions and optimise efficiency. Indigochiller is highly energy efficient using only 60% of the energy required by a standard chiller operating on typical load and ambient profiles. This offers end users a significant saving in energy and running costs.<\/p>\n

When it comes to designing energy efficient cooling\u00a0and heating systems, Star is a natural innovator.\u00a0Star works with strategic partners across the globe\u00a0to deliver low carbon, cost saving solutions.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
