The recent overhaul of the chiller system at the Westin Hotel in downtown St. Louis sets a new benchmark in efficiency and reliability. It exemplifies a strategic partnership with Ameren, underscoring the hotel’s commitment to sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, including a magnetic-bearing compressor known for its extended lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements compared to traditional oil-bearing compressors. The system surpasses its predecessor in performance and efficiency.

Complementing this advanced compressor technology are meticulously engineered shell and tube heat exchangers, renowned for their durability and superior heat transfer capabilities. Engineered to withstand continuous operation, these heat exchangers ensure optimal thermal exchange, contributing to the system’s overall efficiency and longevity.

Moreover, installing a new cooling tower with a dual-fan setup enhances reliability and demonstrates the hotel’s proactive approach to ensuring uninterrupted service. This offers the hotel management and guests peace of mind. In the event of a single fan failure, the configuration seamlessly redistributes the cooling load, mitigating any potential disruptions to guest comfort.

The strategic partnership with Ameren enhances the hotel’s sustainability efforts and yields substantial cost savings. With an estimated incentive amount exceeding $58,000, the owner of the Westin Hotel stands to benefit significantly from reduced operational expenses.
