The Importance of Air Handling Systems

In South Africa’s commercial and industrial sectors, air quality, temperature, and humidity control are critical factors that impact productivity, energy efficiency, and operational costs. With the rising cost of electricity and the challenges of load-shedding, businesses require innovative air-handling solutions that offer superior climate control while reducing energy consumption. 

At Specialised Climate Engineering (SCE), we provide cutting-edge air-handling systems that combine multiple climate-control technologies into a single, integrated solution. Our energy-efficient designs help businesses optimise air management, reduce overheads, and maintain a stable climate. 

Why Choose SCE’s Air Handling Solutions?

Our air-handling units are engineered for efficiency and reliability. Key benefits include: 

  • Up to 80% space savings – Our compact designs require less floor space, making them ideal for space-constrained facilities.
  • Optimised energy consumption – Our units minimise electricity usage, which is crucial for businesses affected by high electricity costs. 
  • Advanced climate control – Featuring precise humidity and temperature regulation, ensuring optimal air quality across industries.
  • Multiple user modes – Shift Modes to ensure positive pressure control with OHS required fresh air supply and zone air balance control with variable extraction.
  • Seamless integration – A single-system interface simplifies management and maintenance.
  • Sustainable engineering – Our designs help businesses meet South Africa’s energy efficiency goals while reducing environmental impact.

The FREECOOL® Advantage 

SCE’s FREECOOL® air-handling technology is designed to tackle climate control challenges while ensuring cost-effectiveness. Our flagship solutions include:

FREECOOL® Adiabatic and Hybrid Systems

  • An Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) above 10 ensures superior performance with lower energy use and lower than ambient wet-bulb temperature delivery.
  • Hybrid models are available for flexible cooling and heating options.
  • Fresh-air make-up systems with heat recovery and free cooling, reducing reliance on grid power.

FREECOOL® – DrySPACE® Cooling and Drying systems.

  • Autonomous control of temperature and humidity delivery is especially useful for cold, meat-processing environments when condensation and fog control is essential for HACCP and OHS.
  • Fully automated and integrated AHUs with FREECOOL® software that allows HMI on-site and remotely.  This allows predictive real-time analysis of performance to ensure optimum regulation.
