DC gets protection from frost
June 1st 2006

Frost protection at the new 10,200m2 Carlsberg UK Northern distribution centre in Leeds is provided by an innovative Nordair/Niche air rotation system.

Multiserve, a specialist in this type of installation, took delivery of the Nordair units and completed the installation in just 12 days, in order to meet Carlsberg's deadline of 31 January. This was very important as Carlsberg, official beer sponsor of England, gears up to full capacity at the DC in time for the FIFA World Cup.

The Nordair/Niche air rotation system comprises two IDF19 heaters. The units discharge high volumes of warmed air from high level grilles into the body of the building.

The units draw in cooler air at floor level and discharge it at high level across the building, producing an effective mix with the high level warmer air and forcing it down to lower levels.

The result is a gentle airflow pattern, displacing high level warm air and returning it to floor level to provide automatic destratification, without the need for costly ductwork.
