Our Solutions

Many industrial processes produce excess heat; this is often dispersed to the nearby working environment, and can increase the temperature to an uncomfortable or unsafe level for workers.

Industrial workplaces of all sizes and services can benefit from Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Systems, from operators of machinery which produces excess heat to workplaces which get below the temperature of 16°C recommended by the HSE during the winter months.

integratedAIR Systems can design, manufacture, install, and commission a cost-effective solution based on your unique HVAC requirements.

How do industrial HVAC control systems work?

Industrial HVAC systems can be used in any facility that needs warming up, cooling down, improved or changed air flow.

Typically, we mount one or more Air Handling Unit’s (AHU) at an elevated position within your facility. These units, coupled with a ducting system, processes the air and distribute it to air vents strategically positioned throughout the facility. An additional benefit of this balanced system is the maintenance of positive pressure within the building envelope to reduce the risk of outside airflow contaminating your facility.

We also offer industrial roof exhaust fans which, when coupled with an air input system, are an effective solution to cooling during summer and other air flow problems.

If your workplace suffers from a more extreme heat build-up, we can provide evaporative and direct expansion (DX– Refrigerant) air cooling systems to rapidly cool hot air, ensuring the maximum level of safety and comfort for your employees.

Make-up Air

Various processes which occur in a production facility use air and exhaust it to atmosphere. It is essential to maintain a comfortable and safe atmosphere to ensure the maintainence of essential production machinery and for the wellbeing of workers. Many ventilation systems are automatically operated and governed by low-temperature sensors, whereas the more complex make-up air system will operate in line with the many different exhausts emitted in your factory.

Signals from the various processes dictate this systems running parameters so the system is activated when process exhausts stop and start; this will continuously adapt to maintain the same overpressure.

integratedAIR Systems can also install water-to-air heating coils within the air stream allowing the hot water from energy recovery to pre-heat the make-up air in the colder months, so your system can run all year long.

Ventilation

During the summer, heat cannot be dissipated from a plant or factory as it can be in the winter. Temperatures can rise due to production lines generating heat, often in excess of a comfortable working environment. Our industrial ventilation systems remove the hot air and circulate cooler air at a lower level, causing temperatures to lower to a comfortable level. Our systems can also reuse unwanted heat from one area to warm up other building areas, saving costs of seperate heating and cooling systems and increasing energy efficiency.

Spot Cooling

Spot cooling is an excellent substitute for air conditioning as it allows you to target specific areas to cool or heat. Each spot cooling system is installed using a locally-ducted evaporator coil and piped to outside VFD condensers, typically placed on the roof. In the summer, temperatures within production facilities can rise to uncomfortable levels. Spot cooling allows colder air to be directed to operator areas, ensuring the work environment can maintain a safe temperature for employees. When necessary, this process can be reversed to warm up work areas during the winter.

Cooling

Some systems produce lots of heat, and need to maintain a cooler temperature to optimise function and ensure safety in the facility; we can install prospect screens around specific areas of machinery to cool the required area. This ensures cooling efforts are focused on required areas of machinery rather than whole sections of the facility, to save on costs.

Heating

Factory spaces may need heating at points throughout the year due to the external climate or changes in facility function. Systems like summer/winter diverters ensure your facility is able to maintain an even temperature all year long by contributing hot or cold air where appropriate to maintain a specific temperature which is monitored and automatically adjusted by the system.

We can also design systems to disperse the heat created from machine processes to other areas of the facility, which ensures the efficient recovery of energy in the form of heat and minimal costs from external heating methods.

Applications and benefits

Every business has its own requirements for heating, cooling, and ventilation; every project we undertake has its own complex set of variables, from the amount of staff and to the level of heat generated, to the type of building and the sensitivity of the processes that take place within it.

integratedAIR Systems takes all of these factors into account when designing a bespoke HVAC control to meet your unique requirements. We are proud to be the trusted partner for a range of local and global companies such as Ball Packaging, Rexam, DS Smith, De La Rue, and Craftec who require industrial HVAC solutions.

Clean and fresh air available throughout the production facility to encourage staff wellbeing
Recycles heat from one point to another, such as production to office areas, to minimise energy costs
Lowers utility costs, improves sustainability, and helps to achieve environmental goals
Equalises temperatures to ensure increased productivity

Frequently
Asked
Questions

What are the main functions of Air Handling Unit (AHU)?

The AHU manages the ventilation of the interior with outside air, along with the following additional tasks:

Relative humidity monitoring for improved indoor comfort.
Management of air temperature with air conditioning system in cold or hot conditions so that the desired interior temperature is reached.
Filtration and control of the air quality to ensure clean, contaminant-free air is circulated to the interior.

What is the energy efficiency of an AHU?

Energy efficiency is the primary goal of an air handling unit, and the European Ecodesign Regulation 1235/2014 has made it compulsory since 2016.

By having heat recovery units, the AHU lowers the amount of energy needed for air conditioning; since the exchanger mixes internal and outdoor air, the temperature contrast is lower when the air reaches the coil and therefore lowers both the climatic contribution and energy consumption.

The fans can operate in accordance with the required flow rate thanks to the equipment's variable regulation, which lowers consumption.

What is the difference between commercial and industrial HVAC?

The three main differences are;

Capacity: Industrial HVAC systems typically designed for much larger facilities than commercial ones.
Complexity: Industrial HVAC systems can be designed to handle more extreme internal processes and external environments.
Location: Industrial HVAC tends to requires significant amounts of external space to place AHU's and other equipment. They tend to generate a larger volume of air, and require additional equipment to ensure enough air is pulled through the HVAC system.

For more details, you can read our dedicated blog post.

Are there regulations for Air Filtration we need to be aware of?

A new international standard for the air filtration sector, ISO 16890, was released by the International Organization for Standardization in December 2016. This new Standard will result in better filter performance, improved indoor air quality (IAQ), and stronger protection of human health. This is more thorough than both the previous EN 779 and the Ashrae 52.2 regulations.
