CASE STUDY: Ensuring Optimal Ventilation for Hotels and End Users
Introduction
Ventilation Directs is dedicated to delivering exceptional air handling refurbishment services that are crucial for maintaining key ventilation systems. Our solutions are designed for quick turnarounds and efficiency, particularly in plant rooms with limited space and accessibility.
Challenges in Plant Room Accessibility
Many plant rooms have been overlooked in terms of future maintenance and accessibility, especially in old, listed buildings and inaccessible plants. This can pose significant challenges.
Our Experience with Leading Hotel Chains
We have been invited to refurbish and supply new air handling units to a wide range of prestigious hotels, including Ibis, Radisson, Mercure, Hilton, and Waldorf, among others. These hotels operate 24/7 and require reliable, up-to-date, and efficient services to ensure minimal impact on their guests’ experience.
Key Refurbishment Tasks
Our refurbishment process includes several critical tasks:
- Replacing Existing Impellers
- Changing Belts, Pulleys, and Motors
- Upgrading from AC to EC Motors
- Assessing Flow Rates, Velocities, and Pressures
- Finding Existing Fan Curves and Comparing with New Motors
- Coil Replacement and Expertise
- Controls/Inverters
Tailored Solutions for Unique Needs
Each unit is unique to the individual hotels and their specific areas. Some units date back to the early 90s. With our extensive knowledge, we offer modern solutions to help hotel chains stay current with new and improved systems.
Collaborative Efforts and Successful Delivery
We work closely with local councils to ensure timely delivery of each product. This includes coordinating road closures, weekend work, crane lift companies, and transport to minimize impact on surrounding areas and communities.
Conclusion
Ventilation Directs is committed to providing efficient and reliable air handling refurbishment services. Our collaborative approach with Hevac consultants, mechanical engineers, and other stakeholders ensures that we meet the unique needs of hotels and end users, maintaining optimal ventilation systems.
