The business focuses on the packaging and distribution requirements of clinical trials across the world, and any fault could have caused serious delays. Star Refrigeration\u2019s local service and maintenance engineering team assessed the situation and quickly replaced their existing cooler with an upgraded version, which allowed the company to continue business as usual without process interruption.<\/p>\n<p>Star\u2019s engineers found that the ice build up forced an evaporator coil to split, leaving the cooler unable to maintain its set temperature levels and thus it became obsolete. To ensure no damage or loss to production, the customer was advised to move all products from the cooler and into another storage facility until a replacement cooler could be installed.<\/p>\n<p>John Simpson, Star Refrigeration\u2019s South East Regional Manager, who worked closely with the customer, said: \u201cThe ice build up was first noticed by the client and reported to us, then we attended the site, inspected the damage and investigated the cause, which was a failed drain pan heater.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the customer had held a maintenance contract with Star Refrigeration since 2011, the engineers had a good understanding of the site\u2019s operation requirements and were able to provide a swift response by recommending an upgraded cooler from the same manufacturer in order to solve the problem promptly without unnecessary delays.<\/p>\n<p>Star worked closely with the customer\u2019s maintenance management facilitator, Bouygues, on the project. Jamie Gray, Bouygues Manager said, \u201cStar was able to install a new cooler within two weeks. There was no production loss from the refurbishment, as the timeframe between sourcing and installing the new equipment meant that we were able to empty the produce from the obsolete plant into replacement chillers on our site.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince Star Refrigeration maintained the original chillers, their site and product knowledge meant they were able to work quickly when selecting and installing alternative equipment to provide the same functions as the original.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The works involved installation of the new cooler, pipe brazing, pressure tests, system strength and tightness tests, drain and evaporator installation, as well as refrigeration cycle and defrost cycle tests.<\/p>\n<p>Jamie Gray added, \u201cStar is an approved supplier for our company, so we were aware of the procedures carried out by the company for projects like these. Their risk assessments were always very well organised and detailed, and their method statement was well planned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A worldwide leading clinical supply chain management company in Horsham, West Sussex, came under threat","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1199,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Star Refrigeration Replaces Ice-Damaged Cooler for Leader in Clinical Supply Chain Management | Star Refrigeration<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A worldwide leading clinical supply chain management company in Horsham, West Sussex, came under threat due to an ice-damaged cooler.
