Colt Caloris - Water Refrigerant Flow (WRF) air-conditioning system

Colt Installs a Ground Source Heat Pump System at the Hatchcroft Building, Middlesex University

A new multi-million pound teaching and research building is being constructed for Middlesex University at its busiest campus in Hendon. The project comprises the demolition of 6 redundant buildings on the 0.455 hectare Hatchcroft site and the development of a new 4,500 m², two- and three- storey building.

The facility will be an adaptable, sustainable building that adopts best practice for energy consumption, striving to deliver a 12% reduction in CO2 emissions and incorporating on-site renewable energy sources.

The University aspires to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating. A Colt Caloris air conditioning and ground source heat pump (GSHP) system will help to make this possible.



	For the air conditioning of this building Colt will be providing a complete package of 59 Caloris WRF			The Caloris WRF indoor units connected to a ground source heat pump system

For the air conditioning of this building Colt will be providing a complete package of 59 Caloris WRF indoor units connected to a ground source heat pump system.


	Colt is providing a vertical closed loop borehole system

In this instance Colt is providing a vertical closed loop borehole system. This will require an area of approximately 1,400 m² of ground space, and will involve 55 boreholes to be drilled to an approximate depth of 60m to accommodate a 32mm coil arrangement. The capacity of the resultant system will be up to 235 kW gross peak heating load and 190 kW net peak cooling load.

Colt was awarded this contract because it could help integrate the complete package of works, from the design and installation of the GSHP system to providing the link between the ground and the indoor Caloris WRF units.

This page will be updated once the installation is complete.
