HMX cooling solutions boosts employee efficiency

Despite the hot and dry climate of Ahmedabad, the team at TeraSpin’s office at Sari, Ahmedabad, is fresh and energetic throughout the day. Obviously, comfortable people turn out better output and has quickly convinced the TeraSpin management that energetic people are the company’s most valuable asset.

What keeps everyone energetic the whole day? There are many factors; though one that stands out is the comfortable ambience at TeraSpin. No, it’s not just cooling – it’s much more than just cooling; it’s cooling with clean, fresh air, using HMX’s IDEC (Indirect Direct Evaporative Cooling) together with FAAC (hybrid air-conditioner) systems.

Background
TeraSpin is a manufacturer of precision textile spinning machinery components. Its factory and office building incorporate a variety of technologies and features that provide a very comfortable work environment for its employees, and at the same time are eco-friendly.

Challenge
TeraSpin’s office building accounts for about 50 per cent of the total cooling load of its facility. The challenge was to bring down the cooling cost significantly, while maintaining a comfortable ambience with 25°C temperature all year round, and with high indoor air quality.

Solution
Based on the heat load calculations, it was found that approx. 20,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of air was required in the office building during summer and approx. 20 TR and 10,000 CFM cooling for monsoon was required in recirculation mode for maintaining a comfortable ambience. Keeping these numbers in mind, the following two systems were installed at TeraSpin’s office:
• HMX-Ambiator: 10,000 CFM
• HMX-FAAC (hybrid air-conditioner): 10,000 CFM with 20 TR DX coil

The HMX-Ambiator is a two stage evaporative cooler. It is commonly known as Indirect direct evaporative cooling (IDEC) technology. The HMX-FAAC combines indirect direct evaporative cooling and
refrigerated air conditioning, and can provide comfort in all seasons.

How do the systems operate?
