Ferguson Middle East has introduced a new dual HVAC system to their engineering workspace modules
The system is designed to protect offshore workers from the Gulf’s punishing temperatures, which can reach more than 40oC in summer, presenting a significant safety risk.
The company said the latest model is 30 per cent more efficient at managing temperature, thanks to the introduction of a two speed fan.
The time it takes to purge the A60 workspace modules when they become depressurised, during which time they are unusable, has also been reduced by 25 per cent, from an hour to 45 minutes, as a result of the new system.
Dr. Julian Poyner, Ferguson Group engineering director, said, “We are delighted that we have been able to design a solution to meet the needs of our Gulf clients and can offer a solution that successfully addresses the challenge of working in modules in such high temperatures.”
The new HVAC unit was designed to be able to operate between -20°C and +50°C, and was tested at the Motor Industry Research Institute (MIRA) in Nuneaton, UK.
