Destratair projects

Destratair have worked with many large clients such as Tesla, Jet2, Kingspan, Puma, M.O.D, H.M.P, Co-op, Eden project and many more. Below are a few examples of projects where we resolved specific problems for the client.

Jet 2 - Manchester Hangar

The hangar was heated by gas fired radiant panels which produce an extremely high temperature so the air temperature was about 35 degrees at high level which made working above the aircraft extremely uncomfortable. Conversely where the radiant panels could not cast heat underneath the aircraft it was very cold.

The Destratair system resolved this ensuring there was an even temperature above and below the aircraft.

Berry Brothers and Rudd fine wine merchants

The building was to be heated by a ducted system supplied by an air handling unit but due to the high density of racking there was no room for ductwork to achieve an even distribution around the space. Temperature distribution was critical so Destratair not only provided a solution to the destratification in the building but also distributed the air down between the racking becoming the prime air mover. The air handling unit supplied air into the space via a bell mouth and egg crate grilles were positioned at the same end for the return air. The Destratair fans were positioned at the opposite end of the building to cater for the destratification and air distribution.

Goole - Symmetry park

The client only required frost protection which would have meant a large quantity of very small unit heaters all round the space and a lot of distribution pipework. Destratair provided distribution/destratification fans at each end of the building with just 4 gas fired unit heaters on one wall. This provided even comfort conditions around the whole space from high to low level and wall to wall

Plot M Leeds

The original design was for 56 unit heaters and 100 high level box destratification fans. Destratair proposed 6 large cabinet heaters at one end mounted above the offices and 32 fans wall mounted down the length of the building. The client had a CFD comparison done between the 2 systems and the Destratair system came out giving a far better heat distribution and also saved around 500 metres of gas pipework as well as the reduced quantity of heaters and fans. On completion the BMS was showing less than half a degree temperature difference anywhere in the space from high to low level and wall to wall.

Puma Leeds

The distribution centre had a large deep mezzanine area that was difficult to heat using ductwork runs or unit heaters. Destratair proposed gas unit heaters and Destratair fans down one wall opposite the mezzanine. The temperature is within 1 degree anywhere in the space above and below the mezzanine and in the open areas.

Leeds University

The new entrance/coffee area was double height with full height glazing along the front so there was no space for heat emitters. As well as well as providing the destratification The Destratair fan also ensured that heat was distributed evenly around the space right across to the glazing at the front of the building. Aesthetics were also important so the units were mounted within bespoke boxing.

CBI Fleetwood

Destratair fans were positioned down one wall to do the destratification and air distribution. This meant that the client did not need to strategically position unit heaters around the space to get heat distribution saving several hundred metres of pipework and all associated installation costs. The client installed fewer Large unit heaters just at one end adjacent to where the heating mains entered the building letting the Destratair fans distribute the air. Temperature differentials of less than one degree were recorded from wall to wall and roof to floor level.

Harlaxton Manor

Harlaxton manor is a listed building where aesthetics is obviously paramount. The university dining room utilised concealed convectors to heat the room with the Destratair product mounted behind the television and clock panel on the back wall. Noise levels were also critical as the room is used for examinations and our range of fans can achieve noise levels as low as NR19.

Triple point brewery and bar

The VRF heating in the bar area was not reaching set point as the capacity was only just large enough to heat the space however the heat was rising up to high level and through the roof. The brewery section was also on show behind a three quarter height glass screen and this created a lot of heat that could be utilised. Destratair installed 2 small fans at one end and the VRF units immediately started to shut down reaching set point very quickly in the occupied zone, staying off for long periods due to utilising the waste heat from the brewery.

St Marys Church

Even with correctly sized heat emitters Churches are notoriously difficult to heat as the heat rises into the high roof space and usually through it due to poor insulation. Destratair installed four fans which were concealed behind sympathetic cladding as aesthetics were extremely important. This ensured the air was kept moving and set point was actually being achieved in the occupied zone. Noise levels were also obviously very critical and Destratair can achieve noise levels as low as NR20.
