PRODUCTS FACILITIES MANAGEMENT AIR INTAKE SCREENS HELP BUILDINGS MEET ENERGY REQUIREMENTS
Still a relatively new concept for the UK, ECEX's air intake screen is a vinyl coated polyester fibre mesh that sits in front of essential HVAC equipment including air handling units (AHUs), chillers, condensers and cooling towers - acting as a filter for pollen, leaves, insects and other particulates with almost no impact on air flow; typically around 10Pa at a velocity of 2m/s.
By preventing debris from entering a system, machine efficiency and the lifespan of filters is increased and maintenance requirements are reduced which contribute to lower running costs while helping buildings meet ever more stringent energy efficiency requirements. In cooling towers biological loading caused by insects and organic debris is significantly reduced so legionella treatment is more effective and needed less often. Air intake screens help to increase laminar airflow by diffusing air more effectively across the fill, reducing the operating temperature and energy consumption. Generally, by ensuring systems aren't clogged, the risk of operational downtime is minimised. Air intake screens provide up to 75% reduction in
maintenance costs and 60% extension in filter life. At a recent air intake screen project at a London University energy consumption was reduced by 7%, representing a payback in 1.5 years. Widely used in North America air intake screens are becoming more popular in European buildings. "We chose to work with ECEX as
its team is highly knowledgeable and expert in helping customers solve air intake problems,” explains president of Air Solution Company Randy Simmons who presented at the event. “ECEX's consultative approach is key to its continued success, ensuring clients get the right filter solution for their specific needs. A customer centric approach is consistent with ours in the US, one that ensures the highest level of overall satisfaction." Available in a range of mesh types
depending on the application and particulates, ECEX air intake screens offer a simple solution to what was a complex problem, one that it hopes will soon be a more common sight on retrofit and new builds.
