Learn how New England Aquarium was able to use MovinCool portable air conditioners to create a mobile penguin display cart in DENSO MovinCool’s New England Aquarium Case Study.

Excerpt:

Cox Engineering, a full-service mechanical contracting firm headquartered in Boston, has seen its share of unique and challenging projects. But last year’s request from the New England Aquarium for a climate-controlled Mobile Penguin Display Cart took them instantly into uncharted waters. The Aquarium wanted to safely transport, and display, an 8-lb. endangered African Penguin named ‘Roast Beef’ throughout Boston as part of its ‘Penguin Pursuit’ promotion, without exceeding a setpoint of 65ºF inside the clear plexiglass display cart. No easy task when summer days in the Boston area regularly soar to a sweltering 95ºF. Initially, the math just didn’t seem to work.

Especially when a 20º delta between the ambient temperature and a cooling unit’s discharge is typically the max. However, after a bit of head-scratching, the pros at Cox Engineering devised an ingenious solution. Based on positive experiences with other MovinCool models, they chose a MovinCool PC7 for the heart of their design. The PC7 portable air conditioner has traditionally been used to help cool individual people in ‘hot spots’ as well as cooling individual pieces of heatsensitive office equipment to protect …>>Read More
