The system will be deployed at nine underground stations and related tunnels on Mumbai Metro’s Line 3 corridor, which runs between Mumbai Central and Bandra.
In order to implement the project, Blue Star will require water-cooled screw and magnetic bearing chillers, chilled water and condenser water pumps, as well as air handling units.
Additional requirements include fan coil units, ducting, tunnel ventilation fans, and a compressed air system. The company will also perform related electrical work and deploy a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system.
With space constraints remaining a challenge in Mumbai, the company is required to design, size and place the system within the limited space that is available.
