Introduction
A large five-star mall in the Mumbai suburbs faced significant challenges with its air handling units (AHUs), where fins were becoming clogged with atmospheric dirt and dust. This dirt solidified into hard scales that were difficult to remove, and the delicate nature of the fins made traditional cleaning methods like rubbing or scraping impossible.
Background
The accumulation of dirt and dust not only compromised airflow but also increased energy consumption, leading to higher operational costs. The mall management sought an effective solution to restore the efficiency of their AHUs without damaging the sensitive fins.
Challenges
- Clogged fins due to solidified dirt and dust, impairing airflow.
- Difficulty in cleaning due to the delicate nature of the fins.
- Increased energy consumption and operational costs.
Solution
The mall management turned to Eximious, known for its simple yet innovative solutions. Eximious implemented the following approach:
- Application of Magic Blue SPG: This specialized cleaning solution was used for the gentle cleaning of the delicate fins. Eximious closely supervised the maintenance team during the application process to ensure effective results without damage.
Results
- Complete Cleaning: After the application of Magic Blue SPG, the fins were thoroughly cleaned, leading to significantly improved airflow.
- Enhanced Efficiency: With the increased airflow from the AHUs, the mall was able to operate effectively with only one AHU during peak summer conditions.
- Power Savings: This optimization resulted in substantial power savings of 70 HP, significantly reducing operational costs.
Conclusion
The use of Magic Blue SPG by Eximious provided an effective solution for cleaning the AHUs, enhancing airflow and operational efficiency while achieving notable energy savings for the mall.
