A Midlands facility required urgent HVAC replacement following the failure of a 20-year-old condenser unit. ARH provided a compliant, energy-efficient upgrade with no disruption to production, restoring full climate control and reducing future operational risk.
A failed condenser unit was identified during a routine visit. Because the equipment was recorded in ARH’s asset-tagging system, engineers could immediately access its service history and condition record, confirming it was beyond repair and required replacement to protect Smart Room operations.
ARH recommended a full system replacement using a 7kW Mitsubishi R32 Standard Inverter condenser and a compatible wall-mounted cassette unit with wireless controls.
To minimise disruption, engineers attended both during and outside of normal hours. All site protocols were followed, including inductions, permits, and installation of safety barriers. The team safely isolated the electrical supply, reclaimed and disposed of refrigerant, and removed the existing system.
The new installation included pipework compatible with R32 refrigerant, reuse of existing containment and power supply, and a new rotary isolator. Full testing was conducted, including nitrogen pressure checks, leak detection, evacuation, and moisture removal. The system was recharged, commissioned, and registered with the manufacturer. All F-Gas paperwork and operational guidance were provided on handover.
• The site now has a reliable, compliant cooling system.
• Improved energy performance versus previous system.
• Reduced risk of breakdowns and associated downtime.
• No disruption to production or distribution activities during works.
