Customer Relocation

April 14, 2022

JTS have recently worked with a great customer who needed help to resolve a dilemma. 


They were in the process of relocating to a fantastic new facility but their current chamber was just not up to being moved again and the existing cooling plant was extremely dated and inefficient. The project had lost valuable time in the pre-planning stage and delivery was getting critical, so the customer needed to find someone that would be able to design, build and install the chamber in a tight time frame.

The chamber specification was for a walk in room with a footprint of approx. 3m x 4.5m, which can be programmed to cycle temperature between -20°C and +60°C with an average rate of change of 0.2°C/min.


The customer tests multiple Process Gas Chromatographs at any one time, so the inside of the chamber was fully fitted out with electrical sockets to power up the test items. An enhanced safety system with fresh air purge was incorporated in the design due to the nature of the chromatographs and the gases fed through them.


The new refrigeration system was located external to the main building, which resulted in a pipe run of approx. 50m between the plant and the chamber. JTS selected a 6hp Bitzer Ecostar unit for the cooling system, which along with its key features of good efficiency and low noise levels, also incorporates a weather proof housing, giving a smart modern look to the plant area.


For those who follow us on linkedin  (https://www.linkedin.com/company/james-technical-services-limited/ ) you would have seen that the site installation and commissioning took place over a full week. The project completed within the customers relocation time line and this relieved customer has since fed back their appreciation of the finished chamber, it performance and the professional processes JTS employed to resolve their dilemma.

JTS were asked by local councillor William Powell to help out refreshing a storage container used by Talgarth Town FC juniors and ladies. After some initial discussions and a quick cad mock up to agree the paint scheme the JTS team began to work on the project. This happened with the help of the Black Mountains College (Power) and Talgarth Building Supplies (Paint) and the JTS workforce. As you can see the container has had a new lease of life and we hope the guys using the container like the paint work! ‘Good news TTFC under 10’s celebrated a home victory with the team having a photo and the container used as a back drop!’

James Technical Services Limited having been involved in electric car, battery development and testing over the past 7 years have now installed two 11kW charging points at the factory in Talgarth mid Wales. These points can be used by customers and employees 😊 JTS have always been following the progress of the battery development and have purchased their first electric vehicle which will be used by the employees to carry out sales / site visits.  The container test chamber below is used by various car manufacturers for electric vehicle battery testing. This is just one example of a battery testing facility JTS can supply.
