We know your servers need to be kept cool for their efficient operation. We also know how to keep your environment cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Read below for an insight into how we do it and how we carry out a professional installation…
Server Room Close Control
Down flow units are particularly popular for this application. These units have powerful blowers which discharge into a mezzanine floor. This is the most effective way to cool your servers as the cool air blows back up from the mezzanine floor, directly through the server racks. The warm air is then sucked back into the top of the units. The compressors and expansion valves are located in the down flow unit with only the condenser located outside.
Office Air Conditioning Installation Manchester
Most offices have air conditioning to create a comfortable environment for the office staff. These units remove heat ingress form the ambient, computers, lighting and from body heat generated by the staff.
Heat Pumps for Air Conditioning Installation Manchester
All of our office air conditioning system come with a heat pump option as standard. This is a valve in the outdoor unit which slides across and reverses the flow of the refrigerant. In this mode, heat energy is absorbed from the ambient and discharged into the building. Heat pumps have been run tested across a range of ambient temperatures and have be found to be a more efficient use of energy than using gas boilers. Therefore, reducing your carbon footprint and slowing global warming.

Case Study of Air Conditioning Installation Manchester
We have recently won the contract for the installation of 4x cassette units in an office in the Greater Manchester area. Read below for a day in the life view of how we do it…
Site Visit
Our air conditioning projects surveyor attended site to discuss the requirements of the customer and assess the job.
Indoor Unit Selection
The customer stated that he would like to have cassette units installed as they fit easily into the false ceiling available in his office. The wiring, drain and refrigerant pipework being hidden out of view in the ceiling void.
Heat Load Calculation forAir Conditioning Installation Manchester
The calculation of capacity was worked out using our software package to find the required kilowatts of cooling required. This ensured that the units were not oversized which would unnecessarily cost more money. Also, this calculation ensured that the units were not undersized which would mean that set point would not be achieveable.
Team for Air Conditioning Installation Manchester
We have available in the Manchester area a time served, two man installation team. Both engineers are fully qualified and have years of industry experience. This experience is particularly valuable where there are difficulties regarding the installation. A difficulty encountered on this job was how to route the refrigerant pipework. Our team used our high powered, 110v hammer action drill to get through a thick stone wall.

Hanging the Cassettes
Our team marked out the ceiling tiles and supports. Then, an opening was cut for the 4 units and uni strut was used with threaded rod to provide the fixing for the cassettes. One at a time, the cassettes were then lifted into place.
Outdoor Units
The installation of the outdoor units was quick and easy as there was room available on a concrete hard standing outside of the building. Our team drilled down and secured these units onto the concrete.
Interconnecting Pipework
Having previously drilled through a stone wall as mentioned above, the refrigerant pipework was pulled in from outside. A weather resistant sealing compound was used to seal the gap around the pipework on the outside wall.
Electrical Wiring
Isolators had been fitted prior to our team attending site. The cable to the indoor and outdoor units was installed and tightened. Good wiring connections and the correct cable type prevent future service issues from occurring!
Pressure Test during Air Conditioning Installation Manchester
Our team carried out a pressure test for 1 hour according to standard industry guidelines. We use tested and calibrated nitrogen regulators with a ¼ turn valve and a steel braided hose. This is to quickly shut the nitrogen cylinder in the unlikely event of the regulator jamming.
Dehydration Process
Our team used a powerful 10 cfm vacuum pump to speed up the dehydration process. This pump dropped the pressure of the air in the system to below the saturation point of water, corresponding to the ambient temperature. Non condensables, such as, nitrogen which was left in the system from the pressure test were also removed.
Commissioning
The run testing of the units was carried out and a detailed Tick Sheet was completed. The commissioning day of the plant was the most important day if its life. Doing this part of the job well will ensure the seamless operation and reliability of the units.
Maintenance
We have another department of service engineers. Our engineers are adept at the fault finding and repairs of all kinds of air conditioning equipment. Our fast supply chain ensures you will not have to wait long before we get you back up and running!
