 Mumbai:
Central airconditioning and commercial refrigeration major,
Blue Star, has been awarded the contract for revamping
the airconditioning of the Indira Gandhi International
Airport, New Delhi. The Airport Authority of India (AAI),
after evaluating various competitive bids awarded the
contract to Blue Star. The order is valued at around Rs9
crore.
Blue
Star is already executing airconditioning projects for
AAI at three other major airports in Mumbai, Kolkata
and Ahmedabad.
AAI
is in the process of revamping the facilities at various
major airports in the country. Along with other interior
improvements, this activity is aimed at providing comfort
cooling conditions for the passengers.
In
embarking upon this upgradation, AAI had in mind the
need to improve energy efficiency in the airconditioning
system. Owing to Blue Star''s energy-efficient cooling
solutions, the new airconditioning system will work
with nearly 25 per cent lower power consumption. The
old airconditioning plants which were both energy inefficient
and environment unfriendly (CFC) are being replaced
with energy efficient and ozone friendly R134A chillers
(8 x 600 TR).
Another
unique feature of this project is that the revamp/replacement
work has to be carried out without causing stoppage
of traffic at the airport. Blue Star, which has done
many similar projects like this is fully geared to implement
the execution, as per the customer''s requirement.
Once
the main plant is ready, AAI will be in a position to
upgrade the internal airconditioning system of the terminal
building in a phased manner.
