To maintain a controlled and constant humidity and temperature level all year round in the production areas of the culture mediums used to evaluate the antibiotic load or resistance of bacteria (petri dishes), the designer chose a hydronic type air-conditioning system based on air handling units powered by two Clivet polyvalent air-cooled WDAT-iK4 340.2 heat pumps of 700 kW each.
The multi-purpose units produce hot and chilled water to serve the AHUs to maintain controlled conditions in the production areas and proper comfort in the offices.
The two polyvalents are coordinated in cascade by the Intelliplant system, which manages the sequence of the two polyvalents according to the demands of the plant, the consumption of which is measured by Clivet with flow meters.
Intelliplant also manages the operating logic of the pumping units by keeping the flow rate constant at the primary and variable at the secondary, guaranteeing lower pump consumption.
