Bridge the Gap

Temporary Cooling & Chiller Rental

Keep the building open and the product cold while the permanent system is down.

Cooling You Can Put in Place Tomorrow

Temporary cooling exists for the gap — the days or weeks between a failure and a permanent fix, or between a planned shutdown and a startup. A chiller is down and the replacement is six weeks out. A rooftop unit is being changed out and the tenant below still has to work. A process needs cooling during a turnaround. A cooler is failing and the inventory in it cannot wait for a part.

The alternative to temporary cooling is usually not "wait patiently." It is closing a floor, sending people home, moving product, or losing it. Set against those costs, rental is almost always the cheap option.

The hard part is not the equipment — it is getting the application right. Spot cooling a server rack, keeping a 20,000-square-foot sales floor open in August, and holding a process loop at temperature are three different problems, and equipment that is right for one is useless for the others.

Temporary Cooling Applications

Spot Coolers

Portable units for a specific area — a server room, a control room, a work cell, or a hot corner of a facility.

Rental Chillers

Temporary chilled water when the central plant is down, being replaced, or short of capacity during a peak.

Planned Outage Coverage

Scheduled coverage during a changeout, retrofit, or plant turnaround, so the work does not shut down the operation.

Emergency Bridge

Rapid temporary cooling after an unexpected failure while the permanent repair or replacement is sourced.

Process Cooling

Temporary process cooling to keep a line running or a batch in spec during a mechanical outage.

Refrigeration Backup

Temporary refrigeration to protect inventory when a cooler, freezer, or rack system is out of service.

What We Need to Size It Right

What are you cooling — a space, a piece of equipment, a process loop, or product in a box? The answer changes the equipment entirely.
What temperature do you actually need to hold, and how tight is the tolerance? "Comfortable" and "within process spec" are very different targets.
What power is available at the location? Temporary cooling equipment has real electrical requirements, and available power is frequently the binding constraint.
Where will the unit sit, how will the condenser reject heat, and how will condensate be handled? A portable unit dumping heat into the same room it is cooling accomplishes nothing.
How long do you need it, and is this an emergency bridge or a planned window you can schedule around?
