Carrier Solutions UK has partnered with River Island and contractor Bry-Kol Developments to deliver a tailored HVAC solution for the retailer’s new store at The Chimes Shopping Centre, Uxbridge.

The project involved relocating the retailer from a single-level space of 848m2 to a two-floor store totalling 660m2. Two internal air handling units with chilled water cooling coils were drained prior to installation, and Bry-Kol was tasked with identifying equipment suited to the store’s layout and operational requirements.

The installed solution includes six Toshiba 14kW RAV Super Digital Inverter (SDI) units paired with 4-Way Cassettes (SEER/SCOP 8.59/4.75) and one RAV 5kW High-Wall SDI split system (SEER/SCOP 7.84/4.19).

The system now offers zoning capabilities, allowing temperature adjustments in specific areas of the store to suit foot traffic and external conditions.

Bry-Kol has worked with Carrier Solutions UK (formerly Toshiba Carrier UK) since 2012, with its engineers trained to Carrier’s required standards. This partnership enabled River Island to benefit from a 7-year warranty on the installed systems.
