Pipeworks helps clean room keep its cool

Durapipe ABS pipework has been specified for a new manufacturing facility at the Cambridge headquarters of printing solutions company, Xaar.

Environmental control specialist Comec was tasked to construct a temperature controlled clean room environment for the new inkjet manufacturing facility, for which a high quality air conditioning system was needed. Comec has been impressed with the performance and quality of Durapipe ABS pipework on similar applications in the past and therefore decided it was a suitable pipework system to transport chilled water for the air conditioning system at the new Xaar facility.

Durapipe ABS pipework has been specified in sizes 50mm 125mm to carry chilled water from an external chiller system 90m away from the building. The water is then transported into the pumping room and then on to the air conditioning system in the clean room to cool the room.
