Logistics case study – 500kW temporary heater hire in Exeter
Working conditions inside a major train depot and workshop in Exeter deteriorated during a prolonged cold snap, making life difficult for workers.
What Did We Do?
Carrier Rental Systems supplied and installed a high-capacity oil-fired heating system on a temporary hire basis, to deliver warm ambient conditions within the depot and enable staff to continue working.
The Results
The two heating units remained on site for approximately 26 weeks during the period of low ambient temperatures, ensuring that workers at the train depot and workshop could continue their operations comfortably despite the harsh weather conditions outside.
Commenting on the project, the CRS Sales Director said: “We have had many years’ experience providing industrial heating using IDF heaters and hire boilers connected to air handling units. This application was best suited to diesel heaters, connected with return air to lower the fuel consumption for the customer.”
