Stadium Galgenwaard

FC Utrecht's 1st team is playing in the top-flight Dutch football competition (the 'Eredivisie'). FC Utrecht's stadium is called Stadium Galgenwaard. It was built many years ago and has been renovated several times. The last important renovation dates back to 2005. Large organisations such as FC Utrecht rely on high quality installations, including for the main building's cooling installation and its technical maintenance and implementation aspects.

For this project, Jadikoel took the initiative of examining the existing cooling system of the stadium's main building. At the time of writing, the new chiller has not been made operational. It will be activated at the end of December 2016.

The issues became clear through temperature variations in the Stadium's main building. Jadikoel concluded these issues were caused due to the malfunctioning of the former unit (12 years old), installed on the stadium's roof. Simply repairing the unit was becoming too expensive and it could no longer be relied on.

STULZ joined forces with Jadikoel to deliver and install a new cooling unit for Stadium Galgenwaard.

Designed to maximize efficiency, the Explorer Chiller delivers exceptional cooling performance while minimizing energy consumption. We prioritize environmental responsibility by utilizing environmentally friendly refrigerants in the Explorer Chiller. Through the implementation of highly efficient microchannel condensers, we have achieved a reduced thickness that requires minimal Freon, resulting in optimal efficiency. Need a silent cooling solution? The Explorer Chiller can be designed to comply with EN 14511 standards, featuring separated compressor chambers for noise reduction. Ideal for industrial and utility applications, the Explorer Chiller offers a simple and modular installation, with capacities ranging from 160 to 563 kW. Choose our cutting-edge technology for a sustainable and efficient cooling solution with the Explorer Chiller.

To resolve the issue of temperature variations, STULZ suggested an air-cooled cooling unit, manufactured by STULZ, Explorer WPA180SCNA type, suitable for outdoor installation. It will become operational at the end of December 2016. This solution ensures a proper regulation of the main building's temperature, without any undesired variations.

The cooling unit has 6 suction-gas cooled hermetic scroll compressors in two refrigerant circuits, with a 6 level capacity control. The maximum cooling capacity amounts to 504.3 kW, cooling 86.51 m3/h of 12 °C water to 7 °C, in an ambient temperature of 35 °C. The used refrigerant is the environmentally friendly and highly efficient R410A. The aluminium Microchannel condensers are set up in V and are provided with 8 AC axial fans for an optimum heating output to the outside air.
