Newark Engineering proposed the Robatherm Air Handling Unit featuring variable-speed plug fans to enhance energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. This advanced system allows for precise airflow control and simplifies maintenance, ensuring optimal performance.
The retail center, located in the bustling heart of Singapore, faced significant challenges with its air handling systems. The existing air handling unit (AHU) utilized constant-speed fans, leading to excessive energy consumption and limited airflow control. This setup not only increased operational costs but also hampered the overall efficiency of the facility.
One of the primary challenges was the high power consumption associated with the traditional AHU. The constant-speed fans were unable to adapt to varying load conditions, causing inefficiencies during part-load operations. Additionally, the older fan configurations made maintenance labor-intensive, requiring more time and resources to keep the system running smoothly.
To address these issues, Newark Engineering proposed a comprehensive solution: replacing the outdated AHU with the advanced Robatherm Air Handling Unit featuring variable-speed plug fans. This innovative upgrade was aimed at enhancing system efficiency, reducing energy usage, and simplifying maintenance procedures.
The Robatherm plug fan system offers numerous advantages, including easy cleaning due to its simplified fan design, which allows for quicker maintenance routines. Its modular design further reduces downtime, making servicing more efficient. Additionally, the system is engineered for reliable performance under varying load conditions, ensuring stable operation.
With the implementation of the Robatherm AHU, the retail center achieved remarkable results, including up to a 60% reduction in power consumption and a 40% decrease in operational costs. This project not only improved energy efficiency but also secured long-term reliability for the shopping center’s air handling needs.
