Engine Cooling in the Falkland Islands

HC Coils have designed and manufactured special Air Blast Coolers to replace original equipment for the Diesel Engine Power Generators at RAF Mount Pleasant in the Falklands – one of the most remote locations in the world. The Falkland Islands are situated in the South Atlantic, approximately 400 miles from the South American mainland and 850 miles north of the Antarctic Circle. It has been the home for nearly 200 years for a colony of approximately 2,500 people. Our Air Blast Coolers were chosen to replace the original equipment that had been in operation since 1983. Our customer did not want the risk of relying on the accuracy of the original drawings so as part of our customer service our senior design engineer took a military flight from Brize Norton to the Falklands via Ascension Island to survey the installation.
