Carrier launches the AiroQ ‘plug and play’ packaged air handler with integral controls
As part of Carrier’s drive to simplify the specification of air handling systems it has
developed the AiroQ. This is a packaged, complete air handling system for air
flows from 1.8 to over 11 m³/s and cooling capacities up to 190 kW with integrated controls and software.
The development of this new product has drawn together the air conditioning expertise of Carrier,
the air handling tradition of Carrier Holland Heating and the controls
expertise that Carrier has developed and acquired in recent years. The result
is a fully integrated system with heat recovery as standard, and all the
on-board controls to optimize performance and interface easily with other building
systems.
A sorption heat recovery wheel is supplied as standard to ensure high sensible and latent heat
recovery. Carrier designed and manufactured heating and cooling coils are
factory fitted into the AiroQ package to deliver a high quality but standardized
‘plug and play’ product able to be specified from a simple selection sheet.
In addition to controlling temperature, humidity and air flow control, the AiroQ
software can monitor a number of important parameters such as the degree of
filter pollution, belt break protection, minimum flow, speed control,
maintenance early warnings via modem, and energy consumption measurement. This
last allows energy monitoring to take place as part of a complete building
energy management programme.
The AiroQ has all the quality specifications that have come to be associated with the Carrier HQ
range of air handlers, such as double skin insulated walls. Options such as
low-noise fans, additional sound attenuation and many others are also
available.
