Lidl HVAC system installation

Overview

Client: Lidl
Location: Becontree Heath, Dagenham

D-Air successfully completed a comprehensive commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) installation at Lidl in Becontree Heath, Dagenham. This project highlights our capability in executing large-scale, complex HVAC systems in a commercial setting, ensuring optimal climate control and energy efficiency.

Challenges

The primary challenge for this project was to design and implement a versatile and efficient HVAC system suitable for the varied needs of a bustling supermarket. The solution needed to cater to different zones within the store, including customer areas and a communications room, each with unique climate control requirements. Additionally, the installation had to be carried out with minimal disruption to the store’s operations.

1x VRF system with 5x FCU’s (2x wall mounts + 3x ceiling cassettes) across the ground and 1st floors. Each FCU had its own BS box connecting it onto the main pipe run.
1x split systems for the comms room = 1x high level wall mounted single split system.
2 x VRF condensers feeding the main AHU on site supplying fresh air.

Solution

Our team addressed these challenges with a carefully tailored HVAC solution:

VRF System with FCUs

Components: 1x VRF system with 5x Fan Coil Units (FCUs) – 2x wall mounts and 3x ceiling cassettes.
Placement: Distributed across the ground and first floors.
Functionality: Each FCU had its own Branch Selector (BS) box, connecting it to the main pipe run, allowing for individual control and efficient distribution of heating and cooling.

Split System for the Communications Room

Type: 1x High-Level Wall Mounted Single Split System.
Purpose: Specifically installed in the communications room to maintain critical temperatures for optimal operation of communication equipment.

VRF Condensers and Air Handling Unit (AHU)

Components: 2x VRF condensers.
Integration: These condensers were connected to the main Air Handling Unit (AHU) on site, which supplied fresh air throughout the store.
Benefit: This integration ensured a consistent and fresh air supply, enhancing the indoor air quality for both customers and staff.
