Air Temperature Control Equipment

Hopkins Cooling were recently asked to design, supply and install an air temperature control equipment for a new prestige car dealership in Harrogate and were happy to provide the best solution for the application.

With a 400 square metre showroom and numerous staff and customer occupants all year round, four Mitsubishi PLA-RP 11 kilowatt power inverter heat pump ceiling cassette systems were selected. This provided plenty of heating or cooling capacity whilst also minimising operating costs through the use of the inverter system, which uses only about a third of the electricity of conventional heating or cooling systems.

The owner of GC Motors Giles Castleton said:

“This is the second time we have used Hopkins Cooling and the service we have had has been fantastic, there is always someone there to help when required and we could not be happier with the performance of the air conditioning equipment. I do not know what we would have done without the consistent pleasant temperature in our new showrooms over the recent cold spell!”

Heat pump air conditioning is the most energy efficient way of controlling indoor temperatures, eliminating the need for separate heating and cooling systems as both tasks are carried out by one unit. This also has the advantage of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Petrol Recovery

Specialist Refrigeration

We have been asked over the years to make specialist refrigeration units covering a wide range of applications such as coffin coolers, maggot fridges, blood fridges and a unit to preserve a 3,000 year old peat bog body. Our current project is a little less gruesome and very eco friendly.

Using our expertise in refrigeration we were asked to design a unit that would recover the petrol vapour from the air that is displaced from the underground tank when it is being filled by a road tanker. This vapour would normally be vented to atmosphere but we have found that we can recover approximately 50 litres of petrol per tanker delivery. This is achieved by quickly cooling the vapour to below minus 40 degrees c and condensing it back into liquid, this is then returned to the underground tank.

We have units going to China, India and several of the major supermarkets throughout England. Very cost effective and very kind to the environment.
