Project Background

A facilities management company in the West Midlands contacted Rapid Energy after being referred by an existing customer. They required a temporary chiller hire solution for a commercial office building after the site’s existing chiller reached the end of its service life and the replacement unit was delayed due to extended lead times.

Without a reliable temporary cooling system, the office building risked rising indoor temperatures, reduced staff comfort and productivity, and disruption to normal business operations while waiting for the permanent chiller to arrive.

Rapid Energy was selected to provide a fast, dependable chiller hire solution that would maintain cooling across the office building until the replacement equipment was installed.

250kW Chiller Hire

Equipment Supplied

  • 250kW packaged chiller
  • 20 metres of 4″ flow and return hose
  • 2 × 4″ to 100mm PN16 flange adaptors
  • Lug-to-lug hard-wired power cables
  • 50 metres of temporary cold water pipework (backfill)

Challenges

  • Cooling had to be maintained until the permanent replacement chiller was installed.
  • Access to the installation area was through a busy multi-occupancy car park, requiring careful planning to minimise disruption to office occupants and neighbouring businesses.
  • The temporary chiller needed to be positioned within a secure walled compound, making precise measurements and installation planning essential.
  • The client required the cooling system to be installed quickly while allowing the office building to remain fully operational.

 Challenges for Temporary Chiller at Office

Our Solution

  • We recommended completing the installation over the weekend, reducing disruption to office staff, tenants, visitors, and daily site activities.
  • Our engineers carried out a detailed site assessment to ensure the packaged chiller could be safely positioned within the secure compound and connected efficiently.
  • The 250kW packaged chiller hire unit was delivered early on the agreed installation day, with all hoses, pipework, adaptors, and electrical connections supplied as part of the complete temporary solution.
  • Our team commissioned the system before midday, restoring reliable cooling to the office building within just a few hours of delivery.

Outcome

The temporary chiller hire solution ensured the office building remained cool while the client waited for their permanent replacement system. Employees and visitors continued to enjoy a comfortable working environment, allowing day-to-day business operations to continue without interruption.

By responding quickly, planning around the site’s operational requirements, and delivering a fully commissioned solution within hours, we eliminated the risk of extended downtime and gave the client complete confidence that their building would remain operational.

This project demonstrates how Rapid Energy’s temporary cooling rental solutions help commercial office buildings maintain business continuity whenever permanent cooling equipment fails.
