ENCLOSURES & SAFETY SOLUTIONS FEATURE
Specialist enclosure locks, handles, hinges and gasket for HVAC panels T
he global HVAC industry is rapidly changing with a trend to natural
refrigeration systems, which still need controls and compartments. Such systems match the needs of a growing building industry including stores and offices with a parallel demand for large HVAC installations. This, together with constant upgrading of old systems with more efficient, lower energy equipment, means that the specialist hardware for HVAC packages is in increasing demand. Traditionally HVAC cabinets have had a
unique combination of requirements, which call for a specialist mix of hardware accessories. EMKA manufacturer a continually expanding range of products for the HVAC industry, culminating in a complete program dealing with thick doors, IP65 sealing, personal safety (inner door handles etc.), large handles (for gloved hands), corrosion-resistance, heavy door weights, external viewing requirement, multi-level access (e.g. padlocking), inset
handles, compression locking, pressure relief prior to opening, corner frame pieces, lifting lugs and much more. Much of the range is modular, thus
offering the designer and end user many options, and this covers products that meet the relevant European standards such as: DIN EN 1886 and VDI 6022. The range includes thick insulated doors and panels requiring plastic handles to give a more comfortable grip, and plastic components to eliminate thermal bridging from one side to the other. It also features long bodies for quarter- turn as well as traditional T and L compression handles with full 6mm gasket pull down facility. Where complete panel removal is required then a bridge clamp system is offered, along with lifting handles. Heavy duty and adjustable hinges facilitate door fitment – while frame components include corner pieces and heavy-duty lifting/transport lugs. In particular EMKA have recently
launched a new compression-locking hinge for HVAC installations, which provides HVAC manufacturers with a full multi-function hinge/latch/lock for securing of big air conditioning units. It provides door adjustment for correct sealing, 5mm gasket pull down with pressure relief and the ability to be used as both door lock and hinge.
