Top marks for school project
High efficiency VRF air conditioning systems from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) have helped to transform the learning experience for pupils with complex needs at a school in Yorkshire.
Keighley-based specialist air conditioning and refrigeration contractor Knight Engineers completed a successful phased installation to deliver heating and cooling for the refurbished classrooms and sports hall at Fairfield School in Batley.
The MHI solution, supplied by wholesaler HRP, was chosen based on value for money and installation simplicity, as the need to remain within budget was crucial. Three heat recovery VRF systems from the MHI KXZ range were designed and supplied by HRP, along with 24 indoor cassettes covering the specialist classroom areas plus three 10kW wall-mounted MHI split systems in the sports hall.
The individual VRF system capacities are 56kW (connected to nine cassettes), 50kW (again connected to nine cassettes) and 33.5kW (supplying six cassettes), all operated via MHI’s SC-SL4-AE2 centralised touch screen controller.
The installation took place during three holiday periods throughout the school year to avoid any disruption to the curriculum.
