MHI is in the frame at bowling centres

&#65279;Hollywood Bowl at Watford is one of four centres operated by The Original Bowling Company that has replaced aging heating and cooling systems with MHI heat-pump systems.

10-pin bowling operator The Original Bowling Company is progressively replac­ing outdated heating and cooling plant with MHI heat-pump systems. Work has already been com­pleted at four Hollywood Bowl and AMF Bowling Centres by Mercury Services Management in Glasgow, Stevenage, Watford and Ashford. Energy savings of up to 38% are being achieved.

James Childs, project engineering with MSM, explains, ‘The old cooling systems used ozone-depleting R22 refrigerant, which will be illegal to service in a few years’ time, so it’s an ideal opportunity to get ahead of the ban.’

MSM recom­mended an inverter heat-pump system from MHI using R410A to provide heating and cooling.

The installations for the Hollywood Bowls comprise four outdoor units with scroll compressors connected to two indoor units — either a ceiling cassette or ducted unit, or one of each. Each system can provide cooling from 10.6 to 28 kW and heating from 9.5 to 31.5 kW. Systems are supplied as standard with a 7-day 24-hour programmable timer.
