MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES
It is now used by Historic England for their archaeological archives where they needed to maintain 10°C and 40% RH in one area and 15°C and 50% RH in another. For the lower humidity application, we couldn’t rely on just the refrigeration system to control the rooms so we used wall-mounted Munters desiccant dehumidifiers in conjunction with twin Cellarking systems matched to Marstair condensing units and operated by individual control panels.
Salter’s Hall
When the Worshipful Company of Salters appointed consultants Hoare Lea to draw up the mechanical and electrical specification for their £12m refurbishment and extension of Salters Hall, Heronhill was specified to supply the equipment for both the wine store and archive room.
In order to meet the strict standards of BS 5454, the archive room needed to be maintained at 15°C and 55% RH and a Marstair CD3 close control system, manufactured by TEV met the specification. Incorporated in 1394, many priceless artefacts owned by the livery company needed to be conserved. The equipment was installed by Iceberg Building Services
Henry Moore Foundation
Consultants Harley Haddow appointed m&e contractor Munro Building Services for this prestigious contract, which included an extensive suite of archives rooms operating at different conditions to suit the precious items and works of art.
From newspaper cuttings and film to Henry Moore’s original drawings and negatives, it was critical that the correct temperature and humidity was maintained so a combination of chilled water and DX CD3 close control systems were specified, to be supplied by Heronhill.
In the Negative cold store archive room, working on behalf of Munro, Adcocks installed a DX CD3 system which needed to maintain 7°C.
Friary Court Studios
Within the confines of St James’s Palace, these studios employ a dedicated team of conservators who painstakingly preserve priceless works of art on behalf of the Royal Household. M&e consultants Environmental Engineering specified two chilled water CD3 systems to ensure the working environment was maintained to protect the paintings whilst they are being restored. M&e contractor EV Bullen chose Heronhill to
supply both systems and commission them to ensure they met with the Royal Household’s specification.
With such a diverse portfolio of products, Heronhill have been able to come up with a solution for the most difficult applications. As distributors for Nordmann humidifiers, we have been able to control humidity in many applications from museums and galleries to private art collections.
In one such application we provided 10 Nordmann humidifiers that were retrospectively fitted, in conjunction with a VRF system in a private house in Surrey. The client had a large collection of fine art, worth many millions of pounds, which was at risk of damage because of the high temperature being maintained by the VRF system.
Fortunately, each Nordmann humidifier was able to fit alongside the chassis of each fan coil, discretely hidden behind hardwood panels and were able to increase the humidity to the desired condition to preserve the valuable artwork. To compliment the Marstair, Quartz and Nordmann ranges, Heronhill also distributes Panasonic, Toshiba and Vapac so a system is available for most applications.
