Fläkt Woods - ILVA specifies Activent ventilation system
Logically, for a system that has
established itself in Scandinavia, Fläkt Woods’ exclusive
Activent ventilation system has been specified for the new ILVA
store in Manchester.
Founded in 1974, ILVA has its roots deep in Scandinavia, and has
a status of being the second largest furniture and homeware
retailer in Denmark. Activent was specified partly because it
has established a reputation within Scandinavia as being the
system of choice in many varied applications.
Activent is an enhanced ventilation system for supplying and
distributing air, it utilises special ducts equipped with a
large number of small nozzles, to evenly distribute air along
the entire length of a duct. The ducts are clearly visible
within ILVA’s ceiling void.
The system is commercially silent and operates by using small
jets which mix room air through induction and set large masses
of air slowly into motion to provide even temperature throughout
the occupied zone. Due to the effective mixing technique, air
can be supplied at a temperature much cooler than room air,
without causing draughts.
It works in both small and large areas and has been used in all
types of premises ranging from offices and schools to department
stores and industrial facilities. Cooling effects up to 300W/m2
can be obtained in premises with lower comfort requirements, for
example, when cooling hot workplaces in industrial facilities
where high air velocities can be accepted. Fläkt Woods also
supplied the air handling units on this Project completing the
‘system sell solution’
A full technical brochure is available, and HVAC designers can
use Activent computer software for designing complete
installations, including velocity profiles and acoustic
analysis.
