Roxby Downs Leisure Centre
BHP Billiton Roxby Downs Village, South Australia
|
|
Challenge: To provide low energy consumption cooling to the leisure center complex. The complex has a limited power supply capacity, so any solution had to be very efficient, but still provide full comfort when the center is fully occupied.
Solution: Climate Wizard Stand Alone Cooling Twelve Climate Wizard air conditioners were installed under the main roof, within the plant room and connected to a manifold and ducts to each zone. A building management system (BMS) provides flexibility of control and zone selection. In normal operation, the system operates at a coefficient of performance (COP) of around 20 (EER 68.4), compared to the originally proposed alternative refrigerated system, which had a COP of about 3.2 (EER 10.3).

Olive Oil Processing Plant
Mitolo Wines Waikerie, The Riverland, South Australia
|
|
Challenge: To maintain steady, cool, dry conditions during the extreme summer heat, while minimising the cost of energy.
Solution: Climate Wizard Stand Alone Cooling Installation of four Climate Wizard 15kW (4.2 ton) indirect evaporative air conditioners and strategic insulation of the north and west walls.

Robinvale Main Pump Station, Control Room
Victorian Water Authority Robinvale, Victoria (Australia)
|
|
Challenge: To maintain cool dry conditions in the control room.
Solution: Climate Wizard Stand Alone Cooling One Climate Wizard indirect evaporative air conditioner maintains the control room temperature as required and does not increase the moisture in the air.

Pulteney Street Student Facilities
Adelaide CBD, South Australia
|
|
Challenge: To provide cool dry fresh air to the refrigerated cooling system.
Solution: Climate Wizard Cold Front Cooling Installation of two Climate Wizard 10kW (2.8 ton) air conditioners directly coupled to the air handling unit in the basement of the building. The high efficiency of Climate Wizard allowed the consultant to downsize the refrigerated system capacity, saving both energy and capital.

Adelaide University Learning Hub
Adelaide CBD, South Australia
|
|
Challenge: To provide exceptionally comfortable conditions to the Learning Hub, in the extreme heat of summer in Adelaide.
Solution: Climate Wizard Stand Alone Cooling In working with Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR), Seeley International’s engineers applied Climate Wizard to meet the stringent cooling requirements. With energy efficiency previously unheard of, the power consumption for cooling is a fraction of what would have been used by conventional refrigerated systems. This was possible due to Climate Wizard’s patented innovative counter-flow heat exchanger technology developed in Adelaide. This installation is most likely the largest single indirect evaporative project in the world today, with a design cooling capacity of 465kW (4,998,787 btu/hr), when the outside air temperature is 45°C (113°F).

Badge Constructions
Adelaide CBD, South Australia
|
|
Challenge: To provide all the fresh air requirements of a new office complex built for Badge Constructions in metropolitan Adelaide.
Solution: Climate Wizard Cold Front Cooling Climate Wizard was installed in conjunction with a refrigerated system, as the client needed the heating capability as well as cooling to cope with the extremes of winter and summer. A high proportion of fresh air was utilised to make full use of the very efficient cooling provided by Climate Wizard in the long hot summers of Adelaide. Typically under these circumstances, Climate Wizard operates at a coefficient of performance in excess of 15, making it a super cost effective way of cooling the fresh air.

Wilson Transformers Factory
Melbourne, Victoria
|
|
Challenge: An economical way to provide cooling comfort to their workforce and to pressurise the buildings, so that airborne dust and contaminants do not compromise quality. Wilson manufactures electrical transformers for the electrical power distribution industry and ensuring the quality of manufacture is a critical part of their reputation as a top supplier.
Solution: Climate Wizard Stand Alone Cooling Climate Wizard was chosen as it met the key requirements and did not add any moisture to the conditioned space. Several Climate Wizard models CW-H10 were installed along one side of the building and controlled through a building management system that monitors the key areas of production. To meet the winter heating requirements, an in-line hot water heating coil was fitted in the supply duct. Climate Wizard’s powerful supply fan easily copes with the additional duct loads, without losing any air supply volume, thus ensuring that the full design heating and cooling capacity is available at all times.

Architects Home
Nuriootpa, Barossa Valley, South Australia
|
|
Challenge: Quality cooling for a week end holiday home, providing comfortable conditions reflecting the ambience and environmental standards of the Barossa Valley, as well as cooling open plan living spaces.
Solution: Climate Wizard Stand Alone Cooling The very nature of open planning and access to outside meant that Climate Wizard was a “natural” fit to the application. The cool air was introduced through a short duct with supply air diffusers at a high level and with directional guide vanes so that the cooling influence reached all corners of the room. The low running cost, cool dry air and quiet efficiency of the fans mean that the Architect and family have the best conditions imaginable for their retreat.

Australian National University Forestry Complex
Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
|
|
Challenge: To cool a new student lecture complex and learning centre with environmental charter at the forefront of their architect’s brief. The facility is nestled in the green leafy scrub land that abounds around the nation’s capital. It is a proven fact that in enclosed buildings, where the CO2 concentration builds up, can cause drowsiness and inattention and this was undesirable for a learning centre..
Solution: Climate Wizard Stand Alone Cooling Natural illumination and cooling was chosen for the majority of the design. Climate Wizard was chosen because it has no synthetic refrigerants or CFCs, uses only water and a very small amount of electrical power to produce high quality, fresh cool air without adding any additional moisture to the conditioned air. Multiple Climate Wizards supply all the cooling for the student facilities within the complex.

McDonald's Restaurant
Blackwater, Queensland
|
|
Challenge: To cool a fast food restaurant in a sub-tropical environment, where the kitchen heat often adds to that from the scorching sun, making conditions inside bordering on unbearable, to maintain a cool comfortable experience for customers.
Solution: Climate Wizard Supplementary Cooling The usual solution is to increase the size of the refrigerated air conditioners to compensate for the large amounts of expensively cooled air that is extracted by the kitchen exhaust hoods. In Blackwater, and in numerous McDonald’s installations since, Climate Wizard has been installed to provide the fresh air that is extracted by the exhaust hoods. Climate Wizard can cool this fresh air far more efficiently than a refrigerated system and that means great saving for the operators. It also means that a smaller refrigerated system can be installed together with Climate Wizard, keeping the capital cost about the same as would be the case if one large refrigerated system was used. The result has been an immediate saving of over 10% in running cost and a very short payback on the new installation.
