Duke University Hospital's New Bed Tower Cooling Needs
Duke University keeps their hospital and university buildings cool by utilizing a chilled water system. Chiller Plant No. 3, the third to be built, will provide cooling for the University Hospital's 490,000 square foot new bed tower.
Chiller Plant No. 3 will use two 119,000-pound chillers which combined produce 7,600 tons of cooling power - with the power to cool over 5 million square feet of building space. Currently, Chiller No. 1 and No. 2 produce almost 50,000 tons.
