Elevating HVAC Efficiency for Industrial Operations: A Gunn & Pegelow Success Story with Smalley Steel Ring
Smalley Steel Ring, a century-old manufacturer of steel rings, wave springs, and custom rings, sought to replace their outdated 50,000 CFM, 3 million BTU air rotation makeup air unit used in the heat treat operation. Guardian Maintenance, their trusted mechanical contractor, recommended Gunn & Pegelow for this critical upgrade.
The existing unit had reached the end of its service life, posing a threat to the efficiency of the heat treat operation. Smalley Steel Ring needed a reliable replacement that could seamlessly integrate with the current infrastructure while ensuring optimal performance. Discover how Gunn & Pegelow recommended the best air rotation unit solution here.
Gunn & Pegelow’s Air Rotation Solution
Gunn & Pegelow, in collaboration with Titan Air, introduced an innovative indirect-fired air rotation unit designed specifically for Smalley’s needs. The Titan unit was engineered to fit onto the existing concrete pad and utilize the current ductwork. This strategic approach minimized installation complexities and costs.
The Titan unit, capable of providing 0% to 100% outdoor air, features a 3-way diffuser for enhanced control and distribution. The integration of this unit into the Building Management System empowers Smalley Steel Ring to monitor and control the HVAC system efficiently.
As the HVAC solutions provider, Gunn & Pegelow played a crucial role in recommending and coordinating the installation of the Titan unit. The expertise of the Gunn & Pegelow team, paired with Titan’s innovative design, ensured a smooth transition and a reliable replacement for the aging makeup air unit.
