Carrier Rental Systems kept the live version of a popular children's musical cool as it toured the UK in an inflatable theatre, the HVAC company announced recently.
'In the Night Garden Live' needed to keep its actors and audience comfortable with an air conditioning system which was both portable and able to overcome the heat from the show's lighting and the volume of people in the so-called 'Showdome', which housed the show.

Minor Entertainment Ltd, the show organisers, worked with Carrier Rental Systems to provide a heating, ventilation and air conditioning for the theatre area and the visitors sections of the events. The solution had to take into account the variable nature of the British climate and numbers of visitors.
Carrier used a high-efficiency Carrier 30RQS160 AquaSnap heat pump chiller coupled with two CRS110 air handling units to provide cool air in the Showdome. The chiller supplied water at 5deg C to the air handling units, each of which is capable of delivering up to 10,000sq m of cooled air per hour into the occupied space.
The solution took out hot air at the top using extractor fans to move it outside. The team used 600mm flexible ducting to deliver the cool air into the seating and stage zones.
