Carolina Heat Pipe Engineered HVAC Project with Large Air Handler
Carolina Heat Pipe (CHP) was recently presented with an interesting challenge… add a heat pipe to a very large air handler– 70,100 CFM, approximately 22’x8’x10’, weighing in at 15,000 lbs. CHP’s experience allows us to engineer and design customized “In Line Energy Efficient” dehumidification heat pipe solutions using our ST-Mach 1 TRAHP®. This heat pipe was installed in a Daikin Applied air handler at our Atlanta, GA facility. The 4-Row heat pipe system is fully controllable to prevent overheating while maximizing dew point temperature to achieve a climate-controlled, HEPA Filtered, comfortable atmosphere. The constant volume system was designed to support the build-out of a new 50-yard indoor firing range at the Gwinnett County Police Training Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
Team Effort for a Successful Facility Install
Something that might be considered extra problem-solving for another company is considered “a typical day on the job,” says Darrell Sandlin, President. Challenging commercial HVAC projects of all kinds are what drive innovative technology at Carolina Heat Pipe. We enjoy working directly with and supporting design engineers and facility managers to provide in-line energy-efficient dehumidification solutions.
Infrared Thermographic
Startup verification by Carolina Heat Pipe at the Gwinnett training center confirms the heat pipe working at peak performance. This is a thermal photo of the TRAHP® reheat coils. The IR scan verifies reheat, post-cooling coil, as the refrigerant transfers sensible BTU from precool coils to reheat coils, by-passing load around the cooling coil.
The heat transfer process is completely passive, and requires no pumps or compressors, simply working from latent heat vaporization of the refrigerant in a closed-loop heat pipe system.
Carolina Heat Pipe’s Promise
To do the job right by listening to our customers’ needs and asking the right questions. We are devoted to advancing the quality of in line energy-efficient dehumidification and air to air energy recovery through the implementation of heat pipe technology in our TRAHP® products. In our time, we’ve learned a lot about what works best—and we are eager to pass on the benefits of our experience to you.
