The challenge
Meet the exact specifications for a temporary cooling system
GlaxoSmithKleine (GSK), a global leader in the production of pharmaceuticals, vaccines and consumer health care, were about to swap out their cooling system at the Rixensart vaccine production site and needed temporary cooling. But because vaccine production is such a precise process, the system had to be controlled and accurate.
They needed power that could be controlled within a 50 kW range starting from zero, frequency controlled pumps with data pressure measurement, and a connected alarm system that would alert if any of the vaccine environments strayed outside their strict parameters. And they also needed the entire system to drop to 45 decibels at night because they were right next door to a nature area.
