Fläkt Woods have been selected to provide 74 air handling units (AHUs), worth €6.5 million, from its EUMM range for three large cruise liners recently commissioned by Italian ship owner Costa Crociere S.p.A., a company within the Carnival Corporation & plc. The vessels will be built at the Fincantiere Marghera shipyard near Venice, Italy, will each measure 292 meters in length and are designed to carry 2260 passengers with crew of some 900.

The EUMM range of AHUs chosen for these prestigious vessels is manufactured specifically for marine and coastal environments. It is a modular system offering flexibility of function, size and process. The units feature flush fitting stainless steel panelling with a 50mm thick double skin, housing rigid sheet mineral wool insulation optimized for heat retention and sound attenuation. All components are corrosion resistant to cater for the corrosive, saline atmosphere of a working life on the oceans of the world.

On receiving the order from Fincantieri Trieste, Italy, Anders Mårtensson – Group Communications Manager of Fläkt Woods Group – noted, “With its policy of manufacturing precise air movement products Fläkt Woods has once again proven that another of its ranges of equipment exactly matches the customer’s requirements. The EUMM air handling units are specifically made for the environment for which they have been selected. We are proud to be involved in such a prestigious undertaking.”
