design-assist masters a new process - process cooling project in adairsville, georgia
TRANSCRIPT
McKenney’s completed a process cooling project for a metal casting system at a Georgia
aluminum product manufacturing plant.
THE CHALLENGEMcKenney’s had extensive expertise in piping systems, however the coolant water process for the casting die system was unchartered territory. The original design document provided by the owner left many
questions unanswered. Well into the installa-tion McKenney’s learned the process cooling design document was not intended to be the final design.
THE SOLUTIONThe McKenney’s team enlisted its vast knowledge of piping systems and construction to determine what was needed for the job. When the original pumps would not meet system requirements and keep the casting
die cool during start-up, the team jumped in to provide design assistance for the owner and worked quickly with its pump vendor to resolve the issue.
THE RESULTSMcKenney’s insight and tenacity helped the project team master a new process and overcome many obstacles to ensure the cooling system performed properly.
