Project Details

WFT Engineering provided mechanical, plumbing, and electrical studies and subsequent design for a specialty 800 sf laboratory. Our recommendation included designing a custom packaged A/C unit to be installed on the roof. The unit was comprised of a multistage DX compressor, filtration section, supply fan and air-cooled condensing unit section. The unit was designed to provide supply temperature at 39% F dew point temperature to maintain a stringent laboratory environment of 70% F and 30% RH at all times. The unit included sophisticated controls. The design was further complicated by the high amount of equipment heat release into the space and the requirement of laminar flow above the sensitive diffractometer equipment. WFT Engineering was also involved during the rigorous testing and commissioning process to validate the performance of the systems.
