Low noise Climaveneta Chillers and Stifab Farex Chilled Beams from Powermaster are integral elements in the eco-friendly redevelopment of the ‘India of Inchinnan’ Grade A Listed building, claimed the most famous Art Deco landmark in Scotland.

Consultant KJ Tait specified two Air Cooled Chillers together with Chilled Beams from the Powermaster range to provide comfort cooling for the entire development.

The SRAT 1302/SL Chillers each provide an output of 200kW and feature a one-sided air intake design to allow installation within the restricted plant well space. The building dates back to 1930 and has historical importance. Because of it’s age, the main existing building incorporates an unusually thin structural slab, requiring that low operating noise was a key specification to minimise any potential disturbance.

A combination of passive and active Chilled Beam units are installed throughout the development. These have been set into a curved profiled bulkhead to blend well with the ‘airship’ roof-shaped ceiling structure and carry the office lighting for the building. In the core areas BRT active beams with infill sections are connected in a continuous run along the length of the inner section of the building to provide both cooling and fresh air. Throughout the main office areas the FRB passive beams give the impression of a structural beam while providing cooling.
