Built in 1921, A.K. Suter Elementary School in
Pensacola, Florida — like many older public
schools in the state — used a retrofitted
patchwork of packaged and split system air conditioning equipment to keep students comfortable in a warm, humid climate.
One of the most notorious challenges with split-DX dehumidifiers is refrigerant and oil migration. Two Seresco NP-030s solve these challenges by using factory-provided dry coolers to provide air conditioning heat rejection.
New oil-free, magnetic bearing chillers with Arctic Boost option allow the building at 1120 Vermont Ave. NW to consistently and predictably achieve a system 0.08 kW/ton efficiency.
Suited for a wide variety of demanding environments, the R1 family of compressors (from 2- to 5-ton models) offers temperature and humidity control across and can be paired with VFDs from various OEMs and LG.
Eliminating oil from the chiller improves performance and reduces maintenance, providing up to $3,650 in annual maintenance costs associated with maintaining the complex oil management system.
The increase, which is up 6.9% from 2017, is fueled by market drivers, such as U.S. tax cuts, the country’s increasing population, and an increase in industrial construction — particularly the cold storage and warehouse segments.
