Clean air at car park

Greater fan control for the system providing ventilation and fire safety for a new car park in Sheffield is being provided by ABB standard drives for HVAC. The Q-Park car park on Rockingham Street has space for 531 cars over six floors.

To ventilate the car park of carbon monoxide and ensure that smoke can be vented in the event of fire, four fans are installed on the main car park ground floor. Two fans are used for air movement within the car park and two for extraction, driven by two 1.5kW and two 4.8kW ABB standard drives for HVAC respectively.

Depending on the number of air changes needed, the drives run at 25, 30, 50, 60 or 100% speed.Modbus comes as standard.
