Recently Awarded: Multi-Staged Chilled Water Plant
Epsilon was recently awarded a project for a 15,000-ton multi-stage chilled-water plant for an industrial client in the upper Midwest region of the US. Project sub-systems include: Epsilon’s engineering group engaged early with the multidisciplinary project team in a Design Assist phase to closely coordinate the sizing and configuration of the chilled-water systems with the
When Does Ammonia Make Sense as a Refrigerant for Central Chiller Plants?
Over the past several months, the Epsilon team has engaged on a number of Central Utility Plant (CUP) projects that include the validation of ammonia as a refrigerant versus more traditional CFC/HCFC-based refrigerants. Traditionally, ammonia is used as a refrigerant in industrial applications such as food processing and cold storage. It is far less common
Central Chilled Water Plant Installation Time Lapse
This time-lapse video shows the installation of a central chilled-water plant for an industrial client in the mid-south region of the US, orchestrated by Epsilon’s Field Operations team. The plant shown here represents one phase of 57,000-tons of total chilled-water capacity provided by Epsilon, and was completed in approximately 10 weeks – significantly faster than
Advancing Integrated Project Delivery: Key Takeaways from the 2024 Conference
