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.
