Carrier and the Beijing Games

Carrier and Beijing Games

Harmony in Action

Chinese architectural and public spaces are designed to create harmonies between human beings and nature, heaven and earth, the perfect shapes of circle and square. Just as each athlete strives to deliver the best performance in his or her event, each facility designed for sporting events—such as the earth-square “Water Cube” National Swimming Center and the heaven-round “Bird’s Nest” National Stadium—embodies Chinese precepts of beauty, stability and correctness in both concept and construction, a physical manifestation of the ideals of perfection.

Carrier’s success with these sporting venues was partially the result of fully realizing and embracing the cultural values shared by Chinese tradition and Carrier Corporation. Each Carrier product reflects a combination of technical expertise, environmentally sound refrigerants, sustainable manufacturing practices and an ongoing commitment to provide excellent customer service.

In all, Carrier provided solutions for nearly 70% of all heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) contracts for the games, thanks to Carrier's superior performance, reliability and environmentally responsible products.

National Swimming Center “The Water Cube”
	Carrier Equipment: Centrifugal Chillers Air-Handling Units Fan Coil Units Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) Controls System Design Features Chiller heat recovery device and air-handling unit (AHU) heat pipe heat recovery system. System reuses condensation heat to heat swimming pool water and sanitary hot water. Systems Controls help meet energy conservation requirements, coordinates and controls all key elements to improve energy efficiency. Benefits Non-ozone-depleting refrigerant promotes environmental sustainability and is unaffected by refrigerant phase-out. Air-handling units with energy recovery wheels effectively reclaim heat from return air to pre-treat fresh air, dramatically reducing the system’s energy consumption.
National Stadium “The Bird’s Nest”
	Carrier Equipment: Air-Handling Units Design Features First Chinese-produced HVAC product certified by EN1886, the highest international standard. Air leakage rate less than 1%. Each unit is equipped with Carrier’s new high-voltage electrostatic (ionization chamber) air cleaner. Benefits Non-ozone-depleting refrigerant promotes environmental sustainability. High-efficiency AHUs contribute to energy reduction goals. Complete airborne particle removal improves indoor air quality.
