The Situation

A commercial space in need of a new fan system

Project location: Pittsburgh, PA
Property size: 450,000 sqft

Situation: a mechanical problem arose with one of the building's primary fans, a large double inlet centrifugal fan serving 14 floors. The repair of the fan would cause a major disruption to the occupants and require replacement parts to be craned in from a cut access hole on the side of the building.

The process

The Q-PAC Applications Engineering Team worked closely with our manufacturing rep, Thermaltech, to select and design a 24-fan solution to meet airflow capacity of the previous 1971 fan

  • Provided a pre-engineered fan system with power and control wiring completed for ease of installation
  • Provided on-site field installation and fan system start- up support to assist the mechanical contractor, K&I Sheet Metal
  • Installation of a Q-PAC Kitted Fan System started on Friday evening and completed ahead of schedule on Sunday morning

The results

How our innovative design and efficient system helped our customer

The Q-PAC system provided a maintenance-free solution leading to major savings on labor hours. With the additional requirements of a LEED building, the Q-PAC fan system is able to handle the extra static pressure needed to deliver the air to the space. Q-PAC brought the building’s AHU up to date with “a state-of-the-art, cutting-edge, and classic” technology.
