Custom Air Handlers

ClimateCraft provides the highest quality air handling units (AHUs) on the market. Our FanMatrix™ is at the heart of our custom air handlers. Our FanMatrix™ fan array and ACCESS retrofit solutions feature:

• Wide range of options to meet customers' needs in Healthcare, Education, Commercial & High Tech Manufacturing environments
• Engineering expertise to solve any HVAC-related challenge
• Innovative construction methods combined with high-quality materials & components for a 40-year design life
• Variety of design options, components and materials to meet your specific requirements (e.g., LEED designation, system retrofit, severe duty application)
• Compliance with high-velocity hurricane zone requirements of Miami-Dade County and the Florida Building Code
• Compliance with seismic certification requirements of the International Building Code

Our exclusive roll-formed joint panel construction sets us apart from the competition. That's because our bolted standing seam cabinet construction method results in cabinets that are:

• Extremely Strong
• Operationally Efficient
• Easy to Maintain
• Able to offer a true thermal break
• Made to give consistent, long-term performance

DISCLAIMER: ClimateCraft's fan array products allow for fans to be turned off for safety, repair, and maintenance purposes. ClimateCraft's fan array products are not designed to turn individual fans on and off for the purpose of improving fan array efficiency, and ClimateCraft does not endorse turning individual fans on and off for the purpose of improving fan array efficiency. Any statement to the contrary is not supported by ClimateCraft.

Manufacturing Process

To make a ClimateCraft AHU, individual panels are roll-formed from a single piece of metal ranging from 18 inches to 36 inches wide, with double-thick edges for increased cabinet strength.

Material options include:

• Heavy-Gauge Galvanized Steel
• 304 Stainless Steel
• Textured Aluminum

Coating options include:

• Powder-Coated Aluminum
• Powder-Coated Galvanized Steel
• Galvanized Pre-Painted Steel

Our unique roll-formed panel construction has a full thermal break and is significantly stronger than framed units that are welded. Our high-strength construction is equivalent to 10 gauge designs using traditional methods and seals tightly against high pressure. Sturdy 5/16-inch steel bolts are used to join panels instead of insubstantial sheet metal screws.

By using our exclusive roll-formed construction for the walls and roof panels of AHUs, we cut our tooling costs in half and pass the savings on to our customers.

Construction

We construct our door frames out of extruded aluminum with a full thermal break. Fully adjustable cast aluminum hinges and roller cam latches provide for a consistently tight seal. Wire-reinforced viewing windows are available.

FanMatrix™

The Leading Fan Array System

Combine the advantages of our innovative, removable panel design and full thermal break construction with a matrix configuration, and you get FanMatrix fan array towers. These customized air handling units (AHUs) are ideal for new construction, retrofits and renovations in environments such as:

• Healthcare
• Education
• Commercial
• Laboratories
• High Tech Manufacturing

FanMatrix fan array towers are ideal for applications ranging from 3,000-200,000 CFM, including retrofits requiring new fans due to failure, age or poor performance. FanMatrix design is ideal for replacing air handling units in equipment rooms with severely limited access.

Towers are available in 34.5-inch wide configurations to negotiate narrow corridors, fit around tight corners and pass through 3-foot framed door openings.

The solution's advantages include:

• Improved Energy Performance
• Reduced Space Requirements
• Superior Sound & Seismic Performances
• Reduced Cost of Maintenance & Service

Enhancing FanMatrix's appearance and functionality is the fact that fans are housed in cabinets finished with an industrial coating system formulated to withstand harsh environments. Each fan is spring-isolated to provide superior vibration isolation and seismic performance. Our fans' structural design eliminates potentially destructive resonant vibration and improves fan life.

FanMatrix retrofit towers are engineered to meet customers' specific requirements and offer the same features, benefits and quality of factory-built air handlers. If a full AHU retrofit is required, FanMatrix retrofit towers are coupled with a ClimateCraft ACCESS™ site-assembled solution to meet the most demanding specifications.

Key features and benefits of FanMatrix include:

• Full-Width Plenum Fans for a selection capability exceeding 70 percent static efficiency
• Direct-Drive Fans
• Premium Efficiency Motors
• VFD Fan Control
• Spring Isolation Consistent with Industry Guidelines
• "Inertia Base" Fan Structure Performance
• Excellent Acoustics
• Reduced Maintenance
• Reduced Equipment Footprint
• Redundancy for Critical Applications
• Standard 5-Year Motor Warranty

FanMatrix is more than just another “Fan in a Box.” To learn more about FanMatrix and other AHU solutions from ClimateCraft, call your local ClimateCraft representative or Contact Us.
