Q-PAC announced the availability of its multimotor plenum fan as a factory-installed option within ClimateCraft custom air handling units. This hardware integration provides engineers and facility managers with a scalable, modular airflow solution designed for commercial and industrial HVAC applications.
System Architecture And Factory Integration
The inclusion of the multimotor plenum fan as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) factory-installed solution within highly configurable air handling units simplifies the specification process for building designers. ClimateCraft custom-engineers air handling infrastructure to meet specific commercial and industrial facility requirements. By integrating the multimotor array directly during the manufacturing phase, the system reduces field assembly requirements and ensures that the fan components align with project-specific airflow and operational efficiency targets.
Airflow Consistency And Redundancy Capabilities
The multimotor plenum fan architecture utilizes a parallel array of motors and impellers. This design provides consistent airflow performance across varying static pressure conditions within industrial environments. The multi-fan approach introduces mechanical redundancy; if a single motor requires maintenance, the remaining units can adjust to maintain the required duty point, thereby increasing overall system resiliency and preventing a complete loss of ventilation in critical facilities.
Deployment And Maintenance Parameters
The collaboration between the two HVAC equipment manufacturers aims to standardize the deployment of modular fan arrays in custom air handlers. The mechanical design supports streamlined manufacturing and subsequent field deployment by accommodating a wide range of installation conditions and defined duty points. To support long-term maintainability and system reliability for building owners and maintenance teams, the mechanical hardware is supplied with a 5-year fan warranty.
"Being included as a commercial fan option within ClimateCraft air handling units reinforces our commitment to delivering simplified factory integration, which makes it easy for everyone to specify, build, and deliver," said Matt Kent, CEO of Q-PAC.
