EKATO GmbH, well-known as a professional manufacturer of advanced stirring and mixing technology, took delivery of a new NOVA EasyLine air handling system, which stands out on account of its safety, individuality and efficiency as a plug-and-play solution.
This system meets the most exacting technical requirements governing air conditioning technology, but also the customer’s aesthetic requirements, as it was finished in a special colour RAL 7024 (grey) in NOVA’s own paint shop – the air conditioning system thus blends seamlessly into the grey building façade.
In view of rising energy prices and stricter CO2 emission regulations, NOVA relied on an efficient combination of heat recovery system and heat pumps. The use of three heat pumps, which use R32 as the refrigerant, enables CO2 savings to be made without sacrificing comfort in winter and summer. Its integrated supply air humidification also ensures the correct humidity in the premises.
In order to keep the time short and the cost to the customer in Schopfheim as low as possible, the air handling system, the three heat pumps and the steam generator housing were mounted on a continuous U-shaped steel base frame and fitted with an integrated terminal block. This allows the system to be efficiently prefabricated in the factory, thereby reducing installation time, cost and the potential for errors on site. The terminal blocks serve as a central “transfer point” for all the AHU's sensors and actuators to the on-site control system, further speeding up and simplifying commissioning.
The air handling system is fitted with a gas warning sensor, which is sensitive to the leakage of the refrigerant contained in it. In the event of a gas leak, the system immediately shuts down to prevent the escaping gas from entering the premises, thus ensuring the safety of employees.
NOVA’s outstanding flexibility enabled an individual, modern and efficient air handling system to be created to meet the specific requirements of EKATO GmbH. The solution supplied stands out on account of its technical excellence, environmental friendliness, cost-efficiency in installation and operation, and compliance with the most exacting safety standards. NOVA has demonstrated once again that it is capable of creating innovative solutions to inspire its customers.
