Cooling Towers for National Opera in Ukraine_Case Study

A Made-in-Italy Cooling Tower in the National Opera of Ukraine/

Il Teatro Nazionale dell’Opera e del Balletto “Taras Shevchenko” di Kiev è uno dei teatri musicali più antichi dell’Ucraina. Nel 2019, per soddisfare le esigenze di climatizzazione di una stanza di conservazione, è stata fornita una soluzione con una torre di raffreddamento MCT con ventilatori centrifughi. Versatilità della soluzione, rumorosità contenuta e supporto continuativo del partner locale.

  • Teatro Nazionale dell'Opera e del Balletto "Taras Shevchenko" di Kiev, fondato nel 1867.
  • Soluzione proposta nel 2019: torre di raffreddamento MCT con ventilatori centrifughi.
  • Fattori chiave di successo: soluzione versatile, rumorosità contenute e supporto continuativo dal partner locale.

1. Installation context

The National Opera and Ballet Theater “Taras Shevchenko” is one of the oldest musical theaters in Ukraine, founded in 1867. Located in Kiev, it is considered one of the most influential cultural institutions in Eastern Europe. It has undergone various modifications and name changes over the years.

In 2019, the theater had some specific needs related to the air conditioning of a room storing stage sets, which required a cooling section.

2. Proposed solution

To meet the requirements, enucleated together with the Institution’s engineers, an MCT cooling tower with centrifugal fans was provided. This solution featured a small footprint and a special indoor configuration, suitable for confined spaces.

3. Key success factors

The key to the success of the proposed solution for the National Opera and Ballet Theater included several factors:

  • Versatile solution with centrifugal fans for indoor installations.
  • Low noise levels, which made it possible to maintain a quiet environment inside the theater.
  • Ongoing support from the local partner, ECS Group, which provided constant assistance during installation and use of the solution.

Applications

Cooling Towers for National Opera in Ukraine_Case Study

Tertiary Sector

Cinemas, theaters, buildings for public entertainment have the same needs as offices: the cooling units, attached to the air conditioning systems, must be silent and adapt to small spaces: also in this case, open-circuit cooling towers with sound-absorbing technologies are ideal. Centrifugal fans ensure space adaption, while non-corroding fibreglass extends product lifecycle.
Cooling Technologies for Offices

Offices

Low noise levels to ease daily life: this is the “must” of the cooling circuits attached to the air conditioning systems in the offices. Configurations suitable for restricted or peculiar spaces are also often required: the ideal are open circuit cooling towers with sound-absorbing technologies, possibly equipped with versatile centrifugal fans.
Cooling Towers for Bologna Hospital

Healthcare Facilities

Hospital engineers pay attention to two fundamental needs: low noise level and simple maintenance to always keep equipment safe and efficient. Cooling technologies can meet these needs: evaporative and adiabatic coolers with sound-absorbing solutions, preferably with large accesses for internal inspections. The non-corrodible fiberglass can be a plus for useful machinery lifecycle extension.
