LG air conditioning for childrens nursery

September 2001

When Woodgreen Cottage Nursery in Warndon, Worcester decided to expand after looking after local children for over 7 years, they asked Graham Sanders Conservatories of Tewkesbury to build a large double glazed conservatory for use by their smallest children.

To keep the sunny new room cool during the summer, air conditioning was essential. But with only a normal domestic electrical supply to the building, starting current load was a concern. To solve this problem contractor Cotswold Vale Refrigeration of Stonehouse, Gloucestershire specified three 5.2 kw LG wall mounted inverter driven heat pump systems, supplied by LG distributor Thermofrost Cryo Plc in Birmingham. The low starting currents and energy efficient operation avoided overloading the electrical supply and with 6 kw of heat from each unit in heat pump mode, no other heating was required. Since to extend the existing central heating system would have required a larger boiler, this was a highly cost effective solution.

The nursery Manageress Mrs Joy Hadley is delighted with the low noise levels and fast response of the LG units, and the way that the internal refrigeration pipework has been hidden from sight. The investment in the air conditioned conservatory has increased the number of children who can be catered for at the nursery from 40 to 50.
