With nations from around the world represented, the Olympic Games are a truly
global event. Carrier is a major supplier of air conditioned comfort to more than
170 countries around the world. It should come as no surprise then that in Athens, home
to the 2004 Olympiad, almost half of the Olympic venues are served by Carrier systems
and serviced by Carrier technicians. And away from the stadia, in hotels, hospitals,
training centres and even trolley buses and subway stations, Carrier keeps everyone cool.
With its unparalleled range of products, all operating on high efficiency non-ozone
depleting refrigerant, Carrier has the capability to meet the needs of every comfort
application. From the smallest split system to the largest centrifugal machines,
Carrier comes in first.
Not only do the Games bring together the world’s top athletes, but thousands of
their enthusiastic fans, support staff and administrators also gather for this great
sporting occasion. And if anything were to go wrong, the clinics and hospitals, and
emergency services are there to put things right.
The same applies to the air conditioning. Having commissioned the equipment, the Carrier
Service team of skilled technicians provides round the clock support, monitoring conditions
remotely, and ensuring every system operates reliably and efficiently. Vital, factory-authorised
spare parts are made available from strategically located depots, just in case. And after
the Games are long gone the buildings serve as homes, colleges or schools. There are no
worries for those occupying these spaces because Carrier Service is there to ensure the
systems continue to deliver reliable, energy efficient comfort year after year.
Efficient transportation is critical to the success of the Olympic Games. The daily transfer
of thousands of athletes, journalists, spectators and others presents a real challenge. Here
too Carrier’s role is key. A new tram network covers 23.7 km, connecting the centre of Athens
to the bay area and southern suburbs. Carrier delivers cooling for its offices and terminus.
The metro system has also been extended, with Carrier cooling the majority of the stations.

Like the athletes participating in the Olympic Games, Carrier equipment arrived in Athens
from countries all around the world. Commercial chillers, residential units and transportation
cooling products were manufactured in facilities in France, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea,Thailand,
the United Kingdom and the United States comfortably on time.
