Delivering Reliable Hot Water Comfort for South Africa's Travellers
Greenbro South Africa is proud to announce the successful completion of a new hot water plantroom installation for an ACSA Lounge facility in Johannesburg.
South Africa’s primary airport operator, ACSA manages nine major airports across the country, including O.R. Tambo International Airport, Cape Town International Airport, and King Shaka International Airport. These airports welcome millions of business and leisure travellers annually and are home to premium airport lounges that provide passengers with a comfortable, relaxing environment before departure.
Airport lounges require a dependable supply of hot water for washrooms, kitchens, food preparation areas, cleaning operations, and guest comfort facilities. Reliability is critical, as service interruptions can negatively impact the traveller experience.
To meet these demands, Greenbro supplied and installed a complete energy-efficient hot water solution consisting of:
Installed Equipment
- 3 x 2500L IVS Heat Accumulators
- 3 x 30kW Greenbro EGB Heat Pumps
- 3 x CM5-2 Primary Circulation Pumps
- 6 x 25-60-180 Return Pumps
- 3 x MCC Control Panels
Why This Solution Was Selected
