Bournemouth College air condition their Decant Building

"The installation was professionally carried out with fully certified engineers, within a demanding timescale and most importantly of all with optimum safety, particularly where installation of the condensers involved working at height"

Stephen Pester, Projects Manager - County Cabins

Bournemouth College air condition their Decant Building When Bournemouth College were awarded a £60 million grant to demolish part of their building and replace it with a state of the art glass fronted piece of architecture, they were faced with the challenge of where to decant their students to during the project.

Having decided that modular buildings were the best way forward they commissioned their building contractors to erect a 2 storey building containing 23 classrooms.

In order to meet Part L of the Building Regulations the contractors identified air conditioning heat pumps as the most cost effective solution for heating and this is where Celtaire came into the equation.

The Celtaire sales engineers came up with a design based on 23 x Fujitsu 7.1kW air conditioning heat pumps. Fujitsu were the chosen manufacturer due to their availability, impressive after sales service and value for money pricing structure.

With the building earmarked to house a large number of the courses taught at Bournemouth College the positioning of the condensers in a secure, inaccessible area was of utmost importance. This and the need for all internal pipe work to be concealed led to a more complicated installation but in Celtaire’s eyes a none the less achievable one.

This was successfully accomplished by running the pipe work across the internal corridor, in the small ceiling void available, to the condensers positioned in the external alley way central to the building. The electrical cabling and condensate drainage also followed the same route. All 23 systems were fitted with the Sauermann Delta Pack condensate drain pumps so well suited for use in small spaces.

The end result was a tidy, quality and professional installation complemented by a very happy Bournemouth College.
