Powrmatic supplies heating for Apec Braking

Supplying the motor trade for more than 50 years, Apec Braking is a specialist braking supplier to motor factors throughout the UK and Ireland. Its 10,488 m² distribution warehouse required frost protection with design parameters of -5°C external and +10°C internal.

Just one TEG41 air rotation heater was installed by Powrmatic's trusted partner, RSY Air Conditioning. The heater was designed to deliver an impressive 420kW of heat output. The TEG41 heater uses high volume, low velocity, air-circulation to distribute conditioned air to large open spaces and is a suitable solution for any distribution warehouse heating requirements.

Due to the customers requirement to maximise the amount of racking within the warehouse, the distance of the unit from racking was much less than would be usually recommend (it was less than 2m from the face of the heater to the face of full height racking).

The newly-styled Powrmatic air rotation units in RAL 7015 colour were installed by RSY Air Conditioning. The unit was redesigned at the top of the unit to be top exit rather than the conventional design. The theory behind this was to direct the leaving air towards the roof and use the internal profile of the roof to aid with stratifying the air across the building length. The racked distribution warehouse will now benefit from a frost protection system which will protect the internal sprinkler system from freezing in the colder months.
