Posted Date 14/11/2016

Dubai is becoming a regional hub for cruise ships and they have recently opened a terminal at Port Rashid exclusively for these vessels. The Arabic Gulf has good cruising conditions which include flat seas and great weather all year round.

Recently, Andrews Sykes was approached by the vessel owner to provide some temporary shore power and cooling for some emergency maintenance work. Due to the urgency of the requirement, they were unable to wait and schedule to visit the dry docks and repair ports. During this maintenance work, the vessel had to turn off the permanent AC & power system while the crew all remained on board. read more

Andrew Sykes provides warehouse spot cooling for perishable pallets

Posted Date 02/11/2016

One our Clients received a shipment of perishable good that were required to be kept in a temperature controlled environment in Dubai despite the ambient temperatures were above 45 degree Celsius/113 degree Fahrenheit  outside. The warehouse only had extraction vents on the roof designed to reduce the temperature by 2-5 degree Celsius.

Due to the size of the warehouse, it wasn’t cost effective to provide cooling for the entire warehouse but rather a spot cooling solution. Andrews Sykes designed a system that could provide cooling or the portion of the warehouse and racks where the perishable items were stored. read more

Andrews Sykes provides Inlet Cooling for Power Plant

Posted Date 08/09/2016

During the hot summer months, large gas & diesel turbines experience large de-rates. De-rates refer to the loss of power output due to heat. This can be as high as 15-25% when temperatures reach 45 degree Celsius.

A local utility vendor approached us in the UAE and asked for turbine inlet cooling. This solution has 3 parts:

Part 1: provided additional chillers to the existing heat exchanger to increase cooling capacity. This includes a 200TR/700kW Chiller and 100TR/384kW Chiller.

Part 2: Provided a chiller and air handler along with ducting to duct the cold air of the air inlet of the turbine. This artificially reduced the air temperature and increased the efficiencies. read more
