Overview + Key Features
Our team recently completed a project in Boston, involving stability chamber upgrades. The goal of this project was to remove two Heat Pump Units (HPU’s) and replace them with two new Blower Coil Units (BCU’s) for cooling. These existing stability chambers produced a large heat load, and the goal was to reduce this heat.

​Challenges
While our team faced challenges throughout this project, we found solutions and ways to overcome them. There were some orientation discrepancies and some location difficulties. This lab area was also active, meaning the equipment within the lab was unable to be moved.

​Solution

To remedy the situation, our team was able to determine that 2 BCU’s (rather than the 3 initially looking to be installed) had the capability to cool the space with the heat load in the space. To help with the location difficulties, our team installed custom scaffolding to work off safely and made sure to have daily cleaning as the work went on. 


End Result
At the end of the project, our client was very happy with both the consistent communication and coordination of the space during our work. The BCU’s were able to cool the lab, and the job was completed successfully.
