Abstract
Based on a thorough study of products and anticipated growth, the Turbine and Generator Division of Westinghouse Canada Inc. concluded that a component feeder plant for fabrication and machining of turbine components was required. This facility now has a total shop area of 128,000 square feet and the majority of the machine tools are equipped with computerized numerical controls. The cooling system was designed around five (5) floor mounted, 50,000 CFM, air handling units which had been previously selected to meet the plant heating needs. Following an evaluation of initial investment, energy consumption and future maintenance costs for mechanical cooling systems, the decision was to proceed with a direct water cooled system.
