AIR CONDITIONING
Making a diff erence
A
Dedicated support from the MHI Projects team has helped provide a major climate control upgrade for the UK home of global glass processing specialist LiSEC.
ustrian-based manufacturer LiSEC has been in its UK premises in Telford since 2008 and was initially looking to improve the effi ciency of its offi ce
operations by moving to an LED lighting system. Service Manager Vinney Kirkland contacted Modo Lighting regarding an energy survey, and it was suggested that the air conditioning system should also be considered for replacement.
Sister company Modo Cooling was able to demonstrate a potential saving of 40% in running costs compared to the existing system using the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) fl exible 3-pipe heat recovery VRF solution, with a predicted return on investment (ROI) period of three years. Another signifi cant advantage of the 3-pipe system was the capability to provide simultaneous heating and cooling when required, something which had not been possible with the previous system. This allows diff erent offi ces, and areas within an offi ce, to be cooled or heated at the same time. These projections, coupled with the poor reliability record of the old equipment, led to the project being given the go- ahead, with MHI Projects, Modo and LiSEC working to identify the best possible combination of equipment and the preferred location for the outdoor units. Lizzy Holmes, sales engineer for MHI Projects, worked closely with Matt Everall, engineering manager at contractor and MHI 3 Diamond Dealer Modo Cooling, to ensure smooth delivery of a high effi ciency VRF solution. Installation took four weeks, two weeks for each fl oor, with Holmes and MHI Projects able to support the process every step of the way.

When asked why MHI equipment was chosen, Everall said: “I just like the kit. I know how to use it, it’s easy to set up and is very reliable.” He also feels that MHI off ers the best balance of ‘cost v quality’ compared to other high-end brands, adding: “In my experience as a service engineer, I’ve only ever been to one MHI breakdown, whereas other ‘premium’ products have proved far more unreliable.’’ Vinney Kirkland said the extended MHI warranty, providing peace of mind for up to seven years, had been a factor in
