SPX Cooling – Natural From The Inside Out From the outside looking in, this is just a building. A collection of walls, windows and doors. But from the inside, this is a window of opportunity.
Forward-Thinking School Installs LW Fluid Coolers In 2015, Trevor Day School completed a new state-of-the-art vertical campus building in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The project earned LEED Gold certification and won a 2016 AIA WHV High Honor Award. Part of the building’s sustainability initiatives was the school’s HVAC system. The building would be heated and cooled with a closed-loop “energy pile” geothermal system, one of the first systems of its kind in the U.S. When the system needed to expand its heating/cooling abilities in 2022, the project engineers turned to SPX Cooling Tech for a solution. The team chose to install induced-draft, closed-circuit Marley LW Fluid Coolers for more efficient heat rejection. Marley LW fluid coolers are designed to be installed quickly and offer a small footprint for easier integration into existing systems. These towers are delivered with factory-installed controls, factory wired and tested and are equipped with ultra-efficient, corrosion-resistant copper coils. To reduce the heat of their process fluids, the school would need two LW units. The units were hoisted into position using a crane that reached 200+ ft. into the air to install the fluid coolers onto a newly created platform atop the school’s roof. Installation was completed in a single day and the systems were ready to go just before the beginning of the school year. For more about the LW, and other closed-circuit cooling tower solutions, visit spxcooling.com/fluidcoolers.
