Space Airconditioning adds value to Daikin VRV system

15 October, 2005

23 Daikin VRV-II heat-recovery condensing units supplied by Space Airconditioning for a refurbishment project in central London serve 245 ducted fan-coils.

To aid installation on site of Daikin VRV-II air conditioning equipment providing 975 kW of cooling for refurbishing a 1960s building in London, distributor Space Airconditioning supplied a range of extra services. The 245 ducted fan coil units for the 6-storey 7000 m2 Chancel House in central London were supplied with special Space Air accessories providing simple ductwork connections and remote sensing, which assisted with the stringent time scale. Space Air also fitted all 23 outdoor units with gauges, before delivery, for ease of future maintenance and to eliminate possible loss of gas charge during servicing. After installation, Space Air Engineers commissioned the system to ensure equipment was operating at maximum efficiency. The installation had to be completed to a strict 6-month programme, which sometimes required 24-hour working. Franklynair carried out the works over a number of floors at the same time to enable the continuous installation of indoor units and ensure the work was expedited with minimum disruption. Work included stripping out the original water-based system, wet cooling tower and about 200 redundant indoor units. The project was designed by WPPM of Sunbury on Thames around Daikin’s VRV-II heat-recovery system. FXSQ ducted fan-coil units were used with existing grilles in open-plan and smaller office areas. The whole system is controlled and monitored by Daikin’s Intelligent Manager, which will monitor running costs for the separate occupiers and provide remote system observation by the facilities manager.
