Water Cooler On Site Capacity Test Results.

Event:
WACA 3rd Test - Australia Vs India.
Thursday 17/01/08

Abient Temp: 43°C in Shade
(Chiller was positioned in direct sun)
Water inlet temp:  27°C
Water outlet temp:  5°C - 10°C
Flow: Continuous usage
(approx 6 - 8 litres per minute, 360 - 480 litres per hour)

Note:
Due to the volume of people using the Water Coolers the water flow rate was increased to help clear the backlog of people queuing.

Analyses:
The water coolers maintained an acceptable chilled water temperature of 5°C - 7°C under normal conditions increasing to 8°C - 10°C under heavy demand (working out of design conditions, increased water flow rate and full mains pressure).

Ideally 4 Water Coolers would have comfortably catered for the crowd of 17,000 (4,200 people per Water Cooler).

The results far exceed the expectations of the Water Cooler design and make them ideal for usage in the mining and construction industries or anywhere that catering for large volumes of people is required.
