UHW CFPU Chiller Controls Upgrade

Cardiff and Vale University Health board (CVUHB) have a need to implement a contract for the Upgrade UHW CFPU Chiller Controls. During Summer periods the Blast Chillers and Freezers within the CFPU were unable to maintain the required temperatures to safely chill and freeze food being produced for patients. This resulted in food having to be purchased by external providers to feed patients. The cause of the temperature issues was due to the Condenser units for the Blast Freezers and Chillers being located above the CFPU within an internal roof space. During summer periods the roof space would overheat stopping the Condensers from being able to function correctly and provide the required temperatures to safely chill and freeze food. Terratherm are the only supplier capable of supplying and installing the replacement equipment, re-commissioning of the equipment as they were involved in the previous schemes carried out in the last financial year for the works on the condensers.
