THE CHALLENGE

Penguins urgently needed a new cooling pool

A colony of penguins was scheduled to arrive at a water park in Abu Dhabi in early January 2023. But there was a problem. Due to unforeseen issues with the penguins’ permanent pool, the park needed to build a temporary facility for them to ensure their survival – and fast. In captivity, penguins require saline pools with a maximum temperature of 4°C. To provide the best animal husbandry, the water park needed an industrial cooling solution for its temporary saline pool, or else risk the safety of the penguins.
