Air Handling Unit Refurbishment
Commercial Offices; St Pancras & Somers Town, London
Our client is dedicated to achieving net zero and is cutting carbon emissions by removing on-site gas-fired boilers, aligning with sustainability goals, and marking a major shift towards an eco friendly operational model.
Attention was given to the ventilation system to maintain a comfortable working environment without compromising heating capacity. Balancing sustainability with employee comfort became a focal point, ensuring the revised heating infrastructure met both environmental and operational requirements.
HALO HVAC adjusted ventilation and heating design based on occupancy levels, adopting new DX heat pump technology for efficient temperature management. The AHU was remodelled to accommodate the new efficiency objectives.
A shift towards more effective heating and cooling solutions. The HALO HVAC initiative showcased a holistic approach to sustainability, addressing energy efficiency and employee well-being. This not only aligns with environmental standards but also positions the organization as a leader in responsible business practice.
AHU Remodel
The existing AHU layout proved inadequate for accommodating the new components, particularly with restricted access to the fresh air intake section.
Our engineers undertook a remodelling of the AHU to optimize its layout, ensuring compatibility with the new, more efficient design, new EHB coils, filtration, and framework. This included a redesign of the existing attenuation.
Before and After examples
New Electric Heater Battery (EHB),
Direct Expansion Coil (DX)
and Filtration
The installation of the new electric heater battery and DX heat pump coil represented a pivotal step in enhancing the functionality and efficiency of the existing AHU system.
These involved adjustments tailored to accommodate the updated design parameters and airflow requirements, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility with the new technology.
Furthermore, recognizing the importance of air quality in indoor environments, we ensured that the installation was accompanied by the incorporation of new ISO 16890 compliant filters. These state-of-the-art filters are designed to meet rigorous standards for air filtration, enhancing the AHU's ability to maintain clean and healthy indoor air.
Through our diligent efforts in modifying the AHU casework and implementing advanced filtration technology, we not only successfully integrated the new components but also elevated the overall performance and reliability of the system. This comprehensive approach reflects our commitment to delivering sustainable, high quality solutions that prioritize both functionality and indoor air quality.
Corrosion Treatment
The discovery of corrosion on the internal surfaces of the existing AHU presented a critical maintenance challenge that demanded immediate attention. Our technicians commenced the process by carefully sanding down the areas affected by rust, ensuring thorough removal of all corroded material. Following the sanding process, vacuuming equipment was utilized to eliminate any loose debris or contaminants, guaranteeing a clean and debris-free environment within the unit.
With the AHU's surfaces prepared, our team proceeded to apply a high-quality rust treatment solution. This specialized treatment not only halted the progression of existing corrosion but also provided a protective barrier against future oxidation, safeguarding the AHU's structural integrity over the long term. Where necessary fabrication was performed with new materials. This proactive approach to addressing corrosion not only mitigated immediate concerns but also served to significantly prolong the AHU's operational lifespan.
