In some buildings, for example, hotels and hospitals, these heating and cooling requirements coincide for much of the time. Such buildings are the perfect application for air cycle systems, which can provide heating and cooling with lower energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse and ozone depleting gasses than a conventional boiler and vapour compression refrigeration system. The unit uses rotary machinery from the aerospace industry with proven high reliability and long operating life. Increasing concerns about global warming from building energy use and the direct contribution of HCFC and HFC refrigerants mean that air cycle systems have a very promising future in buildings. The workshop is free of charge and members of the public are welcome to attend.
Places are limited and booking is necessary.
