Ventilation & HVAC

At ACL we will ensure your ventilation systems are not left unchecked. Maintaining your ventilation systems ensures a good standard of air quality and flow, as well as saving on call out costs and extending the life expectancy of the ventilation equipment.

Our Engineers can ensure that your ventilation systems, including air ducts and fans, are well-maintained, clear from blockages and work at optimal efficiency.

A Ventilation System which is non maintained or insufficient can spread contaminated air and bacteria such as legionella, which can be harmful to the health of your workers and visitors. It has been proven that a good supply of fresh air improves productivity and mood in a working environment, so investing in a planned maintenance program (PPM) will ensure that the systems are checked on a regular basis keeping them in good working order at all times.

Planned Service of Ventilation & HVAC Systems

We recommend that ventilation systems within offices, warehouses and public buildings are properly serviced, cleaned and maintained at least twice a year. We offer the following maintenance services:

  • Commercial ventilation maintenance
  • Industrial ventilation maintenance
  • Air circulation and extraction systems maintenance
  • Validation measurements to ensure statutory fresh air volumes are being supplied
  • Swab testing
  • Bio-cide chemical treatment
  • Water temperature testing

Air Handling Units and Industrial Chillers: A Deeper Dive
Air handling units (AHUs) and industrial coolers are larger HVAC systems. They’re used in commercial and industrial settings.

Understanding Air Handling Unit Components and Functionality
AHUs have fans, filters, heating/cooling coils, and dampers. Fans circulate air. Filters clean the air. Coils heat or cool. Dampers control airflow.

Industrial Chillers: Types and Applications
Industrial coolers come in air-cooled and water-cooled types. Air-cooled chillers reject heat to the air. Water-cooled chillers use water. These are essential for keeping industrial processes cool.

Maintenance and Service Considerations for Large-Scale Systems
Large-scale systems need specialized expertise. Preventive maintenance plans are crucial. Regular checks and timely repairs minimize downtime and maximize efficiency.

If you need deep cleansing of internal ducting such as grease removal we can recommend our partners who do undertake this sort of work. Please contact us for more info.

Air handling units (AHUs) are integral to the overall effectiveness of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems implemented throughout the UK. However, numerous individuals remain uncertain about the specific role of air handling units. In this article, we will outline all the vital information you require to assist in maintaining optimal ventilation throughout your indoor environment.

What is an air handling unit?
An AHU is essential for effective ventilation. It typically comprises a blower, heating or cooling components, filter racks or chambers, sound dampeners, and dampers. Upon installation and commencement of operation, each AHU is assigned one primary function: to manage and distribute air through the building’s ductwork to establish ideal conditions for all occupants within the building.
The heating or cooling components present in a standard AHU are utilized to heat, cool, humidify, or even dehumidify fresh, ambient air from the outside. Only when the air reaches the desired condition set by the building owner does it begin its passage through the building’s HVAC system.

Why do I need an air handling unit?
In terms of both health and comfort, AHUs provide several distinct and quantifiable advantages. These include:

• Humidity regulation. A proficient AHU can extract moisture from the air, significantly reducing the level of condensation within your building. This is crucial since condensation represents a frequently underestimated health hazard. It can lead to respiratory issues or even result in the onset of mold and decay in your building. Moreover, if the outside air is excessively dry, an AHU can introduce an appropriate level of moisture to achieve the desired humidity balance.
• Temperature control. Regardless of external temperatures, an effective and well-operating AHU can ensure and sustain consistent and pleasant indoor environments. In our experience, guaranteed comfort and ventilation in indoor workplaces almost invariably lead to increased satisfaction and productivity among staff and visitors.
• Improved air quality. Outdoor air may present two prevalent risks. On one hand, smog and pollution can render it unpleasant and even hazardous for individuals. On the other hand, those suffering from allergies often find that dust, pollen, chemicals, smoke, or debris present in uncontrolled air can cause significant discomfort. Whether your indoor space accommodates one individual or one hundred, an AHU will markedly enhance the purity and cleanliness of your indoor air.
Is it time to upgrade my air handling unit?
As your AHU ages, several critical signs should be monitored. Any of these may indicate that your AHU requires servicing, repair, or replacement. Generally, you should look for:

• Diminished or erratic performance, including increased energy consumption. If your energy bills suddenly reflect a higher usage of energy units, your AHU may have ceased operating at its optimal efficiency.

•Frequent malfunctions or atypical sounds. Over time, you should become fully accustomed to the operation of your Air Handling Unit (AHU). Should you begin to detect any irregular sounds, it is likely indicative of an underlying issue.
•Diminished indoor air quality. Remain observant of the condition of your internal environment. If you or your colleagues notice any changes in the cleanliness, temperature, or humidity of the air circulating through your HVAC system, it may be appropriate to examine your AHU.
