TEMPORARY COOLING FOR GOVERNMENT TRAINING FACILITY IN HAMPSHIRE

SUPPORTING A HIGH-STANDARDS SITE THROUGH SUMMER HEAT

A catering training centre located in Hampshire required a temporary cooling solution to supplement its fixed HVAC system. Rising summer temperatures were affecting the kitchen areas across two storeys, and the existing cooling system was no longer effective.

Ideal Heat Solutions was appointed to deliver a reliable, high-performance cooling setup following a successful project at the same site the previous year.

Our team installed a complete temporary cooling system, meeting the client’s strict requirements for efficiency, monitoring, and on-site standards.

OUR COOLING INSTALLATION RESPONSE: STEP BY STEP

We followed a structured delivery process to meet tight timelines and demanding site conditions:

  • – SITE SURVEY & SPECIFICATION

After revisiting the site and confirming the brief, our engineering team specified a tailored solution designed to maintain 16°C across multiple kitchen zones.

  • – EQUIPMENT DELIVERY

All plant and supporting equipment was delivered and positioned on-site, including chillers, generators, air handling units, pipework and ducting.

  • – INSTALLATION & SETUP

Installation took place across 2 floors, with 8 ducting runs installed on the first floor at high level using a cherry picker. Timers and telemetry were configured for full remote monitoring.

  • – REMOTE TELEMETRY & EFFICIENCY

Chillers and generators were fitted with full BMS and telemetry systems, allowing off-site performance monitoring and fast issue resolution.

CHALLENGES AND RESULTS

THE CHALLENGE

High internal temperatures in multiple kitchens were impacting the use of training spaces. Cooling had to be delivered safely, without disruption, and meet a strict 16°C air temperature requirement.

OUR SOLUTION

We deployed and installed the full temporary cooling system within a tightly managed timeframe, ensuring kitchens across both floors were maintained at comfortable working conditions.

All plant was set up for remote monitoring, with timers and BMS integration to optimise energy usage and respond quickly to changes in demand.

THE RESULT

The project was delivered on time, with performance exceeding expectations. The end client was highly satisfied, and further opportunities are expected as a result of the success.

This project marked the use of our newly invested chiller and AHU fleet — utilising the latest technology from leading manufacturers, and built for high-efficiency, intelligent cooling.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

The end client was highly satisfied, and further opportunities are expected as a result of the success:

I have been working with the team at Ideal Heat Solutions for the past couple of years and nothing is too much for them. Their equipment is always supplied in great condition and their service is second to none. Having remote telemetry on both their boiler and chiller units is a fantastic feature and helps to give confidence to my demanding clients. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to others.”
