Saying that it offers even more comfort and can also be employed in hospitals, GEA has introduced what it claims to be a further-developed fan coil unit from its Single Cassette range. The product was reportedly presented during ISH 2013 held at Frankfurt from March 12 to 16.
The manufacturer lists the following product features and benefits:
- The design outlet cover with its new SWIRL technology features a circular, patented form that produces a controlled swirl outlet flow, and significantly reduces the risk of draft, and optimises air distribution in a room.
- The energy-efficient EC fans reduce power consumption by up to 75%.
- As a result, the unit is qualified to carry a Class A Energy Efficiency Label in accordance with Eurovent classification. In addition, optimised heat exchangers assure greater cooling duty than before.
- The original fan coil model with air outlets to four sides profits from this development, and is now based on the same unit platform.
- Both single cassette variants satisfy the hygiene requirements and room-air quality specifications in the revised VDI 6022, thus offering even more flexibly.
- The use of new synthetic materials offers smoother surfaces, which are less sensitive to dirt and enable even quieter operation.
- The GEA MATRIX system – with its integrated field bus – provides intelligent temperature control and allows simple networking of GEA HVAC systems.
- Integration of single cassette units into building-services management systems is possible via various interfaces.
- It is available beginning in the second half of 2013.
