THE BIKE SHED
THE BIKE SHED IS A WELL-KNOWN DEVON BRAND with Stores IN CREDITON, BARNSTAPLE AND TWO IN EXETER.
OWNER MIKE SANDERS APPROACHED US TO INSTALL AIR CONDITIONING AT EACH SITE THAT WOULD ALLOW SIMULTANEOUS TOUCH-SCREEN HEATING AND COOLING OPTIONS.
THEIR LARGEST PREMISES, THE ‘OUTTA TOWN’ EXETER STORE, WAS LOGISTICALLY THE MOST CHALLENGING TO COMPLETE AND REQUIRED A VRF KXZ2 INVERTER MULTI-SYSTEM FROM MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES (MHI).
IN TOTAL, WE FITTED 14 FDT 4-WAY CEILING MOUNTED CASSETTES IN THE UPSTAIRS SHOWROOM, AND A FURTHER 7 IN THE DOWNSTAIRS LEVEL WHICH ALSO HOUSES THEIR WORKSHOP. THE 21 CEILING CASSETTES ARE FED BY A CONNECTED SERIES OF 5 MHI MODULAR KXZ2 HEAT PUMPS.
THIS SYSTEM OFFERS HIGH EFFICIENCY (USING R410A REFRIGERANT FOR REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT), LOW NOISE LEVELS, AND MOTION SENSORS TO OPTIMISE ENERGY CONSUMPTION BASED ON ROOM OCCUPANCY.
“WE OPERATE BIKE SHOPS ACROSS DEVON AND NOW HAVE BEEFY AIRCON SYSTEMS IN EACH ONE. THE SERVICE HAS BEEN EXCELLENT AND THE DAW ENGINEERS PROBLEM SOLVE AS THEY GO. THE END RESULT IS THAT OUR STAFF AND CUSTOMERS STAY COOL IN THE SUMMER MONTHS AND WARM THROUGHOUT THE WINTER.”
