With Chiller one out of service, Chiller two alone cools the entire
Dining Hall as Summer 2007 Family Camp begins in June.

A new, more efficient and powerful chiller, installed September 5,
cools the entire dining hall in place of the older two.

If you were at camp in late August, you know it got hot! And of course that’s when the Air Conditioning in the dining hall went completely out leaving guests, cooks and service staff with no respite from the sweltering heat.

The Dining Hall AC is run most of the year to maintain a comfortable environment for our guests. Chillers are a vital part of any commercial Air Conditioning system because they cool water, which in turn, produces cool air. Our system included two chillers. Chiller one went out earlier in the year, so we managed most of the summer on only Chiller two.

On Wednesday morning, September 5th, a giant crane arrived to place a new, more efficient and powerful, Chiller behind the dining hall. The old units were removed and the new single unit was installed for $90,000. Friends at Mount Hermon’s Labor Day Conference generously gave $14,500 towards the cost of the new chiller. Praise the Lord!
