Air Intake Screen installation

Case study

Problem:
Airborne debris clogging AHU and chiller plant across University Estate portfolio.

Brief
To install a filtration solution to prevent airborne debris from entering air intake systems without negatively impacting upon airflow.
We were asked to attend site and carry out a full survey of the existing AHU and chiller plant. Surrounded by trees and greenery, a range of issues are caused on site by pollen, leaves and associated airborne debris:

1. 2. 3.

Airborne debris restricts airflow by clogging filters and chiller coils, causing plant to work at a greater duty. In order to achieve requisite airflow, energy consumption is increased. This site has few maintenance engineers with limited time. Coils must be regularly cleaned and filters changed due to high volumes of airborne debris is labour intensive, valuable maintenance time is consumed. Restricted airflow creates increased strain upon plant. This, combined with rigorous cleaning regimes means that plant life is reduced.

Recommendations
We recommended the installation of air intake screens.
Designed to fix over external intakes on AHUs, chillers, condenser units and cooling towers, air intake screens have minimal impact upon airflow whilst offering excellent filtration qualities.

Heavy duty Air Intake Screens
