AHU Fan upgrades

Munters has a multinational experience with FanGrid upgrades of non-Munters AHU equipment. In facilities operating 24/7 we replace old belt drive fans with energy efficient direct drive EC fans, creating redundancy and substantial energy savings. These upgrades grant our customers a very short ROI, often at 2 years or less.

The FanGrid

A FanGrid design gives increased reliability over old single fan system. This solution prevents whole system failure, as if one fan were to fail, the remaining fans increase their speed and can compensate for the loss and continue to deliver the air volume required. Due to their compact size, the units in a FanGrid can be replaced more easily. In addition, EC FanGrid solutions can be controlled more accurately, are quieter and reduce maintenance costs. In the long run it protects you against minor breakdowns and prevents an outage.

Benefits

Reduced energy consumption
Short return on investment (ROI), often 2 years or less
Reduced maintenance cost for the AHU’s
Better controllability and reduced noise level
Increased reliability and redundancy
Flexible installation solution

Munters luchtbehandeling upgrades besparen 15 GWh op Heathrow Airport

Met meer dan 80 miljoen passagiers in 2018, bedient Heathrow Airport meer passagiers dan elke andere luchthaven in Europa.

Een van de doelen van Heathrow is om tegen 2050 een koolstofvrije luchthaveninfrastructuur te exploiteren. Een dergelijke ambitieuze doelstelling om de koolstofimpact te verminderen, vereist grote energiebesparingsinitiatieven.

Met 4 enorme passagiersterminals, die bijna 600.000 m2 beslaan, is de energie die wordt gebruikt voor het creëren van een comfortabel binnenklimaat voor passagiers, winkeliers en werknemers aanzienlijk.

"De energiebesparingen van deze projecten zijn enorm; 15 GWh in totaal, wat gelijk staat aan het jaarlijkse energieverbruik van wel 3.400 huishoudens.

We kunnen daadwerkelijk 30-60% besparen en samen met de korte ROI van slechts 2½-3 jaar zorgt dit ervoor dat deze LBK-upgrades zeer interessant voor Heathrow zijn, en dat we onze energiebesparingsdoelen kunnen halen.”

Energy Project Manager bij Heathrow, Andy Dobbs.

Luton Airport UK

“We have done some great work with Munters recently on plug fan upgrades, saving around 1,300,000 kWh of energy a year and there is still more saving to be achieved. Their expertise is second none and they provided exemplary service.”

- Michael Nagle, Utilities Manager at London Luton Airport.

Birmingham Airport saves 58% energy

Birmingham Airport is the 7th largest airport in the UK, flying around 13 million passengers to over 150 destinations each year. With this level of activity, keeping the airport fully operational is essential. So when one of the air handling units in the terminal check-in area broke down, engineers at Birmingham airport looked to Munters, global leaders in energy efficient air treatment, for a solution.

Munters replaced the old belt drive fans in the AHU with a new FanGrid made up of five high efficiency EC centrifugal plug fans.
