Carolina Heat Pipe Supports Beauty in World

Or at least in Tampa, Florida.

Carolina Heat Pipe partnered with Tampa Bay Trane to install a new HVAC system in the Tampa Museum of Art building. The new HVAC system was part of a renovation for the building with the key goal of controlling high humidity.  High humidity is essential to the preservation of artwork!  High humidity can have a major impact, causing physical deterioration such as staining, decay and even mold.

CHP designed and installed a 2-Row Controllable ST Mach1 TRAHP® within a Trane Performance Climate Changer Air Handler; 7500 CFM, size 17 indoor unit.

The Thermosyphon Run Around Heat Pipe System was installed into a section of the cooling unit in our facility in Charleston, South Carolina and then shipped to Tampa for connections and charging.

At design conditions, the 2-row TRAHP® system will provide 5.5 tons cooling and 65.5 MBH.
