Bailey Delivers Two 60-Ton Water Chilling Units To Navy

Bailey Refrigeration Company recently announced the completion of two 60-ton water chilling plants for a U.S. Naval activity (one unit shown above). Each plant, designed and constructed by Bailey, is a complete air-conditioning package on a portable steel base, requiring only a single electric connection, seawater cooling connections, and chilled water connections.

The chilling plants were subjected to a full eight-hour operational test in Bailey Refrigeration's Brooklyn, N.Y., facility on a Marine Pax tester, designed and built by Bailey. The test included capacity verification, using National Bureau of Standards certified thermometers and flow meters, and sound level monitoring, with NBS-certified sound level metering.

The Marine Pax tester was specifically designed to allow testing of chilled water and direct expansion air-conditioning systems up to 75-tons capacity. Bailey anticipates using the tester for military and commercial marine airconditioning system testing and for service engineer training.
