Distributed Air Conditioning for an Animal Clinic
Instead of one, central air handler, many building owners and engineers prefer a distributed approach to air conditioning. This unit was one of six small, straightforward, and highly economical units installed in an veterinarian clinic. Each unit was tailored to meet the requirements of the specific space in the facility that it serves, allowing for very precise control over different areas in the building. To reduce the size and cost of each unit, one duel-use water coils was used for both heating and cooling. Every unit was also equipped with a flat plate heat exchanger and customized frost control, economizer mode, and cooling mode changeover functions. With energy recovery, providing 100% outdoor air ventilation is affordable—making it possible to provide a healthy, fresh air environment for the animal patients and the people that care for them.
