Birmingham bar upgrades fixed air conditioning system

When a bar in Birmingham suffered the complete breakdown of its ageing air conditioning system, it left the proprietor with a decision to make. Although repairing the existing equipment was initially discussed, it was eventually decided that it would be more cost-effective in the long term to install a replacement.

The new design was initially based on a two pipe heat pump system as recommended by the manufacturer. However further discussions with our specialist team led to some alternative proposals incorporating an improved, less obtrusive design.

A Toshiba Triple Split configuration improved energy efficiency and was also less visible once installed – both significant benefits to the client. This design also provided much-needed flexibility, as the system will lose only a small percentage of its capacity due to downtime when future routine maintenance is carried out.

The solution involved nine evenly spaced ceiling-mounted fan coil units coupled with three outdoor condensers. This fan coil layout ensures optimum air flow distribution throughout the premises, leaving the bar owner delighted with the outcome, and his customers almost as cool as their drinks.
