Fan coil air conditioning

The new 170,000ft2 flagship operations centre of Severn Trent Water, built by BAM Construct UK, features air conditioning fan coil units manufactured by Ability Projects.

The company supplied a variety of 2 pipe, cooling only horizontal ceiling recessed EC-DC VE"70 and vertical EVOVERT fan coil units to the general office areas with capacities between 1.68 and 6.3kW at an NR35 operational noise environment of 35 Pascals resistance.

The vertical units, installed in a number of meeting rooms, are all fitted with special rectangular spigots and some also have special split access panels for easy maintenance. EC-DC Evolution fan coils are said to offer reductions in electrical input of 75% and above compared to similar capacity AC driven equivalents.
