Scope Of Work
Species that are taken away from their natural habitat need to be monitored very closely to ensure their growth and survival. Children’s Aquarium at Fair Park (CAFP) boasts about 256 different species that need optimum care in their artificial environment. The most crucial part to sustaining life in a large aquarium is temperature regulation. To prevent overheating of water inside the aquarium, chillers are needed to dissipate heat into the surroundings and keep the liquid cool.
CAFP, with its largest tank at a capacity of 58,000 gallons, required a chiller to keep its exhibits safe and healthy. METCO executed the project, installing an eco-friendly chiller with smart control systems capable of handling large volumes of water.
Engineers from METCO selected an automated chiller from YORK for its high-end specifications. Maintaining a large aquarium demands installation of high performance peripherals. This is important because variations in underwater environment can induce stress in aquatic creatures, making them prone to parasites and diseases.
Working alongside Texas Air Systems, METCO professionals ingeniously prepped the chillers, being mindful of their placement and water flow. We selected a chiller model with sophisticated control systems and high efficiency configuration. Our selected air-cooled chiller model guarantees long term performance and high reliability.
