Project Request
In the SASA Polyester Laboratories project, implemented in Adana in 2022, a demand arose for an air control system capable of responding instantly to sudden air volume and pressure changes that might occur due to fume hoods used in laboratory environments.
Maintaining desired positive or negative pressure values in different rooms, controlling air volume with high precision, and ensuring full compatibility of the system with BMS were critical requirements for the project to sustain safe working conditions in the laboratories. Additionally, to independently manage the varying temperature needs of the laboratories, modulating electric duct heaters integrated with VAV units were planned as part of the system.
Solution
Within the scope of the project, STEKON supplied 36 fast-response STEKON VAV units and Ventmatika 0–10 V proportional control electric duct heaters.
STEKON VAV units, integrated with Belimo control equipment, were selected to quickly respond to sudden air volume changes caused by fume hood usage, thereby maintaining the desired pressure conditions in the laboratories. The high damper leakage class of the units minimized unwanted air passage in critical applications like laboratories, while the ±5% air volume control performance guarantee ensured highly precise air volume control.
The 0–10 V modulating electric duct heaters integrated into the system allowed for independent control via BMS, enabling rapid adaptation to the temperature values required by different laboratory zones.
In addition to product supply, the STEKON team also provided comprehensive supervision and commissioning support on-site. All VAV units were individually calibrated, working scenarios were verified in conjunction with the BMS integrator, performance controls were reported, and the system's operation at designed values was confirmed on-site.
Thanks to this engineering approach, the laboratory ventilation system was smoothly commissioned and accepted, providing a reliable, precise, and sustainable air control solution for laboratory areas requiring critical pressure control.
