Case Study: Australian Broadcasting Corporation achieves decade-long cooling performance with Danfoss Turbocor compressors

Australian Broadcasting Corporation - Customer Case Study

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation required a precise and reliable cooling solution for their state-of-the-art Melbourne studios to handle significant load swings from a vast array of equipment and a 350-seat auditorium. The challenge was to find an efficient system with a small footprint, low noise, and the ability to operate without cooling towers. Danfoss addressed this by providing chillers equipped with their oil-free Turbocor® compressors.

The solution implemented by Danfoss utilized magnetic bearing Turbocor® compressors known for their efficiency and reliability. Performance testing after a decade of operation showed no significant degradation, with power consumption increasing by only 2.59% and mass flow decreasing by less than 1%. This consistent performance resulted in substantial energy cost savings, simplified maintenance, and reliable operation that met all of the customer's requirements for their challenging environment.
