Air handling units
Four AHUs for Scottish club
air handling units supplied by Air Design are presently recovering heat in the clubhouse at the prestigious Renaissance Club, one of the newest golf courses in Scotland, . Air Design, part of the Elta Group of companies, supplied the air handling units to mechanical and electrical engineering contrac- tor, Vaughan Engineering, for use within the newly-constructed club house. Three of the units were fit- ted with high efficiency thermal wheels to recover as much heat as possible from the internal space in order to minimise the heating bills of the private club. AHUs from the Air Design range are said to be technically efficient, combining quality component parts with sim- plicity of design and construction. The bespoke units provide both
heating and cooling for ventilated air and the supplied units incorpo- rate a rotary wheel for heat recov- ery from the exhausted air. One decisive factor in the spec- ification of the Air Design units was their compactness. As is often the case, the plant rooms at the Renaissance Club are limited in size, so space is at a premium. Consultant engineers Wallace Whittle of Glasgow, specified use of the Air Design units.
The golf club and resort, which opened in 2008 in East Lothian, lies between Gullane and North Berwick, just east of Edinburgh. It nestles on 300 acres of the famous golfing coastline of the Firth of Forth, next to the renowned Muirfield golf course in the most historic golfing area in the world.
Busy kitchen goes bespoke
Air Design has supplied a bespoke AHU to Cams Mill in Fareham
air han- dling units and heat recovery units (HRU), Air Design has supplied a bespoke unit for the busy kitchen of a food-led destination pub at Cams Mill in Fareham, near Portsmouth. Part of the £90million Elta Group which provides venti- lation equipment around the world, Air Design supplied the AHU for installation by Corhaven Sheet Metal Fabrications of Poole in Dorset.
The prestigious pub, owned by Air Design has supplied four AHUs to the Renaissance Club in Scotland
Fuller, Smith & Turner – an inde- pendent traditional family brewer founded in 1845 – prides itself on serving fresh, locally sourced pro- duce and ingredients in support of Hampshire’s growers and produc- ers. Having only opened its doors to the dining public a short while ago, the pub’s team of chefs pre- pare all meals on site. Amongst the usual heat generating cooking equipment of a busy commercial eatery, the kitchen also features a top-of-the-range charcoal grill. The air handling unit, constructed at the manufacturer’s factory in Netherton in the West Midlands,
provides fresh air to the kitchen. Air is filtered and then either cooled or heated by the use of a multiple stage packaged DX (R410a) heat pump coil, providing 140kW of cooling, depending on the ambient conditions inside and out, before being ducted into the kitchen and preparation areas. Combining knowledge and experience with a real focus on adaptation and flexibility, Air Design builds solutions which encompass the latest technologies in component parts. In doing so, the company is able to understand customers’ diverse requirements and has the capabilities needed to meet the requirements of both standard and bespoke applications. Commenting on the project, Shaun Roberts, a director at Corhaven, said – “It was a chal- lenging project. But with our wide ranging experience in working in various sheet metal applications combined with Air Design’s exten- sive knowledge and expertise in air handling, we came up with a solution which met the very spe- cific requirements of the building.”
