Cormek Solutions was contracted to upgrade an outdated Air Handling Unit (AHU) system for a client in Aberdeen.
The existing axial fans had become inefficient, leading to higher energy consumption, increased maintenance requirements, and declining airflow performance. The client required a modern, energy-efficient solution to enhance the system’s performance and reliability.
Our team carried out a full strip-out of the existing axial fans and replaced them with high-performance EBM Papst EC fans, which provide improved energy efficiency, quieter operation, and greater reliability. To ensure seamless integration, we also handled:
- All necessary electrical wiring, ensuring full compatibility with the existing control systems.
- Precise system alignment, optimising airflow and ventilation performance.
- Thorough system testing and commissioning, verifying efficiency gains and system stability.
The project was executed with minimal disruption to operations, ensuring the building’s HVAC system remained operational throughout the upgrade process.
The Outcome.
Following the fan upgrade, the client has experienced significant reductions in energy consumption, leading to lower operational costs and improved system efficiency. The new EC fans have also reduced maintenance requirements, as they offer longer lifespan and improved reliability compared to traditional axial fans.
Additionally, the optimised airflow performance has enhanced indoor air quality and temperature regulation, creating a more comfortable and energy-efficient environment for occupants. The upgrade has provided a long-term solution, ensuring the AHU system remains high-performing and cost-effective for years to come.
More about Air Handling Units.
Air Handling Units (AHUs) play a crucial role in commercial, industrial, and healthcare settings, ensuring proper air circulation, ventilation efficiency, and temperature control. Many older systems rely on outdated axial fans, which are prone to high energy consumption, noise issues, and frequent breakdowns.
Upgrading to EC fans provides superior efficiency, reduced carbon footprint, and enhanced system reliability, making it an essential investment for businesses looking to cut operational costs and improve sustainability.
