The work involved is to provide another chiller identical to the existing one already serving the MRI unit.

To improve reliability of the new installation the Contractor will need to refurbish the existing chiller and replace all flex with beaded flexible connection and provide all ancillary plant as described in the detailed specification i.e. pressurisation unit, dosing pot, new BMS etc.
