Students using the library at the
University of Strathclyde in Glasgow
are keeping their cool thanks to an
air conditioning system from Star
Refrigeration. Star had previously
supplied an Indigochiller
refrigeration plant for cooling in
another building on the Glasgow
campus and the university was
impressed by its build quality and
performance.
The university’s library had an air
conditioning plant operating on R22,
a refrigerant currently being phased
out. Engineered to have minimal
effect on the global environment,
Star’s Indigochiller has a robust
design that aims to eliminate
refrigerant leakage and to offer over
20 years service.

Star installed two Indigochillers
on the roof of the Curran Building,
each with a 750kW cooling capacity.

The low charge, high performance
Indigochiller features a lowmaintenance
Turbocor compressor.

Oil-free, it operates on
electromagnetic bearings and uses
synthetic refrigerant R134a.

The chiller is said to use only 60%
of the energy required by a standard
chiller operating on typical load and
ambient profiles.
