For UAE F&B businesses, balancing smoking area ventilation with AC cost control is a major challenge.Holtop recently addressed this issue head-on by supplying a 100% Fresh Air Handling Unit (FAHU) to a local restaurant, delivering an efficient and energy-smart ventilation solution.
The Core Challenge: The Ventilation Dilemma of Smoking Areas
The smoking area needed constant fresh air to remove smoke, but introducing hot, humid outdoor air would drastically increase the AC load and operating costs. This forced a difficult choice between air quality and energy expense.
Holtop’s Solution: Three Key Benefits with One System
Holtop’s floor-mounted unit, with an airflow capacity of 6000m3/h, delivered three core advantages:
1.Pre-Conditioned Air Reduces AC Load: The unit has an efficient cooling system that pre-cools hot outdoor air to a comfortable 25°C before supply.
2.High-Efficiency Heat Recovery Saves Costs: It’s equipped with a cross-flow total heat exchanger (up to 92% efficiency), which uses cool energy from exhaust air to pre-cool fresh air. This drastically reduces cooling energy needs and fresh air treatment costs.
3.Zero Cross-Contamination Ensures Air Quality: Its physical isolation design fully separates fresh and exhaust airflows, preventing cross-contamination.
This project demonstrates how Holtop’s tailored solutions tackle extreme climate challenges, delivering superior comfort while driving down operational costs.
