Installing New Chillers on a Jersey City Roof
Written by Aparna Narayanan on July 18, 2013
It was a hot subject. Indeed, the chillers were heating things up at 135 Montgomery Street in Jersey City, raising some temperatures among the 200 shareholders at this 21-story co-op.
Built circa 1963, the building relies upon a chilled water system for air-conditioning. The original electric chiller required replacing with a new gas-fired one in 2009. Then Hurricane Irene struck in 2011, flooding the ground-floor mechanical room and destroying the newly installed chiller it housed. The building bought new ones... again.
