#1 - The Quiet One
Inlet and outlet silencers are integrated with the fan, thereby controlling noise emissions at the source. The silencers not only absorb sound, but also reduce the ‘line of sight’, thereby increasing the insertion loss. Proper selection of the sound absorbing material, and flow area contraction/expansion rates results in increased sound absorption and excellent aerodynamics. Silencers are built to SMACNA standards.
#2 - Space Savings
The Axipak™ Air Handling system requires about 50% less floor space than conventional systems. The Axipak system normally uses the mechanical room as the air house plenum. Filters are front load. Coils may be front load or side pull. Cooling coils have Coolbreeze™ 304L standard drain pans.
#3 - Energy Savings
Axipak™ designers select the most efficient fan for each application. The aerodynamics of the inlet and regain discharge silencers reduce losses to a minimum. Thus Axipak™ systems are more energy efficient than conventional airhandlers. The reduced horsepower requirements not only result in lower operating and initial system cost.
#4 - Flexibility
The Axipak™ concept stresses flexibility. The systems are suitable for horizontal, side, up or down discharge. A similar choice is available for the inlet. There are indoor and outdoor variants. Axipak™ units can also be engineered for smoke exhaust applications.
#5 - Reduced Vibration
Direct drive vane axial fans eliminate the need for concrete inertia bases, and do not suffer from imbalance problems associated from belt drives. Axipak™ systems feature balanced fans, coupled to aerodynamic inlet and discharge silencers. Vibration isolation, although provided, is not necessary.
#6 - Less Maintenance
Direct drive axial fans are reliable and virtually maintenance free. They require only periodic lubrication and inspection. There are no belts, pulleys or external bearings which drive the maintenance costs of conventional systems.
Construction:
The unit has a structurally sound formed base frame or Aluminum channel/tubular base frame.
• The base frame has strategically placed lifting locations. When the base frame is constructed of formed G60 galvanized steel it is painted with a grey primer to prevent rusting
• The wall and roof framing are constructed of an extruded Aluminum system. The corner profiles create the main structure with another Aluminum type profile for the intermediate structure.
• The unit panels are constructed from 2” thick 24-gauge Aluminum with polystyrene type insulation.
• The interior and exterior of the unit are white.
• The extruded Aluminum framing system is fastened to the Aluminum base frame.
• The unit floor is 3/16” thick Aluminum checker plate. The floor insulation is 2” thick 24-gauge Aluminum with polystyrene type insulation.
• The panels have Aluminum framing around the edge. The panels are fastened into place from the inside of the unit with self-tapping Tex screws with caulking in between.
• All exterior joints are caulked for water and air leakage.
• Outdoor units have a rubber type roofing to prevent water and air leakage
• The access doors are 1¾” thick with 24-gauge Aluminum and polystyrene type insulation, Aluminum with a minimum of (2) VL-210 Ventlok handles, minimum of (2) hinges (piano style hinges available) and an EPDM type bulb gasket. Access door under positive pressure open inwards and negative pressure open outwards. Viewing windows and door holdback ties are also available. Outdoor units have Aluminum rain gutters or awnings.
• Louvers are constructed of Aluminum with 1” square Aluminum bird-screen.
• Unit color is white.
• Other types of construction are available.
