Custom DOAS with 120 Ton DX Cooling for a Manufacturer

Written by XeteX | 10/2/23 5:48 PM

Designed for a fragrance manufacturing application, this XeteX custom Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) features a flat plate heat exchanger and 120 tons of packaged DX cooling.

 

While the custom DOAS does not handle caustic substances, the customer placed great importance on proper handling of fumes. Addressing this concern, an aluminum flat plate heat exchanger was chosen for its minimal EATR leakage. The unit also utilizes high-efficiency filters throughout to remove particulates at the OA, RA, and SA streams.

 

Additionally, a specialized control sequence was implemented to maintain a negative pressure differential on the exhaust side of 1.5”w.c. below that of the supply side, ensuring optimal performance.

 

Unit startup was provided by a factory-certified technician to ensure correct operation.
