Walter C. Mackenzie Health Sciences Centre Resolves Maintenance Problem and Reduces Energy Consumption

From LAKOS Separators and Filtration Systems
 

 

The WCM was experiencing severe problems caused by the fouling of cooling coils and other components of its cooling systems. Air conditioning was affected, medical equipment was deteriorating and the facilities management staff was facing large repair bills. Computer equipment operation was compromised, as were the process medical loads which, with the major air handlers required to ventilate the building, are part of the chilled water systems load.
